I have 2 Nexus 7. My Nexus 7 has a minor screen lift, but it's not noticeable. But yea it has the creaking noise near the upper left area. But then again I shouldn't like be putting that much force on the screen so I'm not too worried. My sister's Nexus 7 has no issues with either.
One of the mine did but it seems okay. That's why I think it is the back cover. Because of mine would squeak only if I held it from the back in certain areas. If I held if from another place on the back it wouldn't squeak like holding it from the other side and pushing down then the squeak would be gone. Mine usually would squeak right where the volume of buttons were.
Mine does the same no noticeable screen lift but it will creak if you press too hard on the left side

yes.
on the left side of mine its the screen that is raised and creeks. on the right side i think its the back cover that is causing the creeking
I had the creak, it drove me nuts. My screen didn't lift at all. I returned it for a new one with no creak and no screen lift.

You had to apply not a lot of pressure if it drove you nuts right? And you RMA yours for that single reason?

I bought mine locally at Sam's, so it was just a matter of taking it back to the store. I bought a new one at Staple's first as they got a new shipment in...of only one.
There was enough movement to make me uncomfortable with it. Not only did it creak on that lower left side with some slight pressure, I could also feel movement when I pressed on the lower left of the screen. Not like squishy movement, just a weird shifting noise.
It's as if the case was a little too large or slightly warped somewhere. I didn't have to press very hard at all to make that sound and it did it naturally if I picked it up from the side. I tend to be OCD so something like that is just one of those things I would fixate on. I also had a dead pixel so the combo was enough to take a trip to Sam's to return it and Staple's for a new one. The difference is night and day with the new one though, it feels so much more sturdy without the noises.
I ordered a case to try and ignore it, but that is still on it's way so the return was kind of an impulse. Honestly if your screen is fine otherwise and you aren't OCD like me, it shouldn't be a deal breaker IMO. Unless a swap is easy, but things could always be worse.
Mine does same, no lift but squeaks with little pressure.
This squeak is because of that black tap that you can see once you open your nexus. At least this was the case with me. The sponge on the top of tape presses the tape when you press the device on left side. I fixed it by removing that foam. I am not recommending anyone to do it as that foam must be there for some reason either to cater for the flex in back cover or something but this was driving me crazy so I removed it. Please don't do it because I am saying this as you might have some different problem. This was my problem and this is how I fix it.

Mine has a slight creak but only when I apply a moderate-high amount of pressure at a certain spot, which I don't feel comfortable doing anyway. Haven't taken the back off but not sure if I will tbh, using a case can alleviate some display issues I.e. screen rising and sight creaks.

Mine has a clicking kind of sound on the left side and the glass depress's about 13/100ths of a MM with little to no force and it was an open box. I will bring mine back as soon as I find a store with another one in stock. I also didn't get the 25$ credit on my Google Play account because the person who bought and returned it took the credit...
My main concern is for dust getting under the glass. If the screen has any kind of travel like mine does I can only assume that it may suck some dust in and under the glass in-between the display and the glass. I don't know if the display is fused to the glass like my Gnex.
I've found that taking the back cover off and putting a single, small piece of electrical tape near the edges in the areas that squeek eliminates the creak. If you have creaking in areas other than the left area where there's screen lift, it's most likely caused by the back cover not fitting perfectly against he device. I put some small pieces of electrical tape in the top right corner and along the bottom right side of my Nexus 7, and it has just about eliminated all creaking.
Mine creaked around the edges til I pressed down hard on them to clip it more securely in place. I've no other issues and the screen is great.

My second Nexus 7 has no screen lift but the power button clicks loudly when depressed about as loud as a typical space bar. Loud enough that others in my office can tell when I turn the screen on. The vol. rocker does not make the same click sound it sounds and works like the first Nexus 7 I owned. I don't think the louder click from the power button is a big deal and will likely get less loud with use.
Hi!
I got my Nexus 7 yesterday and I dont have the raised glass but I have a creaking noise when pressing down the glass on the left side of the tablet. When I press the glass it creaks and after a second or so you here a popping sound. This is the only issue I have with my Nexus 7. You guys think I should return it and get a replacement or is this normal? It only happen when I press down harder than normal.

I have the same problem and am trying to decide if its screen lift or just some weird noise. Advice guys?
Same problem - I've had this issue since I got my Nexus 7 two weeks ago and so far nothing terrible has happened.

For anyone having the infamous left side screen lift issue. This includes being able to physically see the glass protruding the silver bezel, screen sponginess, and being able to hear the screen stick/unstick from the adhesive.
After reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800418 it is apparent the screws are a hair too long. When tightened all the way, they actually can press the screen glass out.
The easiest thing for anyone to try is to just LOOSEN the screws just 1/4 turn. You are loosening the screws so very little, that they will stay snug as far as holding what they are supposed to, but they will no longer push out on the screen glass. I didn't even bother with finding a screw driver, and just used my pocket knife. My screen was raised in the very middle of the left side, so I only loosened the 2 screws directly under the seperation. I suppose this will not work for everyone, but it's so simple and only took me less than 2 mins, you might as well give it a shot. Good luck!
Great thanks

If you're going to loosen screws you probably want to Loctite them.

eh hem...what gave you this idea? jk
Just don't overdo it and you'll be fine. No need for loctite, it's only a small turn and the screws are still plenty secure.

Loosening the screws in some areas will also help with backlight bleed. If you notice a spot near a screw that is really bright, it's most likely a little too tight.
I found this out by testing different "tightness" adjustments. When I went too far, I noticed back light bleed starting to show, loosen it up a bit and it went away.
This actually worked! So far, anyway. We'll see if it's a permanent fix, but it looks promising.

Lol yeah I saw your posts. I mean, that's the same thing I thought of right away. The washers seemed to be a stiff foam, so they compress when screws are tightened. I figured I could loosen them but at the same time keep them snug.
But yeah man good stuff. Did it work for ya?
This.
The washer idea is smart, but for me it caused a more annoying problem. The frame was too thick and pulled the silver trim piece away from the screen and caused a creaking noise at the slightest touch that was way worse than the screen lift.
I just loosened every screw and tightened them back with basically no torque after they stopped turning. All is good now, no creak from the trim and no screen lift, though it's basically flush on he left side

Cool. So did you end up loosening the screws then? Meaning, when you re-tightened them, you didn't tighten them as tight as they were from the factory?
Very interesting... I thought the glass was supposed to be flush with the bezel, until I read your comment. After looking at it, the left side of my glass is also flush with the bezel, while the right side glass sits just a little lower.
That's no big deal to me though, as long as my screen is seated properly.

Probably a little lighter than factory. Honestly, mine wasn't bad to begin with but like every other ocd person on here, I just couldn't resist opening it up and tightening the screws. At that point, the screen lift started getting worse and I moved on to the other half-dozen or so "fixes" when, it turns out, the screws being too tight was making everything way worse.
But yeah, its been a couple hours now and it still feels real solid. I've got a tpu case on order so regardless I'm done messing with it.

Cool beans. Luckily, like your N7, mine wasn't bad either.
Couldn't really tell it was lifted by looking at it, but it was the sponginess and that horrible stick/un-stick sound. This is the first fix I tried, and luckily it worked. Let me know how yours turns out, with or without the case..
I simply loosened all screws then tightened them up. Also, Part of a sponge bumper was tucked under a copper shield which I untucked.
Now when I push hard on the left part of the screen I don't get the tacky sound when i unpress it. Also, screen isn't as bulged. In fact you can't even tell anymore.
Neither was a real problem on my n7 but I prefer to make it perfect. This solved everything.

If you take one of the screws out near the central left and shine a light straight down, you will notice that it is open on the other side as in the the screw can pass through. You will also see a portion of the LCD sticking out underneath those screw holes.
I think the LCD isn't suppose to stick out and get underneath the holes, because otherwise the screws won't hit anything and be tightened all the way. I think for some people without screen lift, the partially sticking out LCD might have been crushed and deformed with the screws or the LCD just isn't sticking out as much.
I've been screwing (pardon the pun) about with this some more today, what I have noticed with mine, is if I take the back off and remove all screws the screen sits perfect, put the screws back in, still seems perfect, clip the back on and the screen now sits above the frame on the left, wondering if mine is an issue with the back plate pushing something out of line.
This worked for a while for me but after it heated up the spongy noise returned. HOWEVER I did notice that loosening the screws did fix the touchscreen issue where it was unresponsive at times.

Haha. I was just messing with ya. This is certainly better than adding a shim but I never had the problem. I just wanted to test this out and take my screws back a bit just in case. The other fix is not the way to go as it screws up the casing.
Still no issues though.

Thanks for this.
I'm going to open it up again and consider using mini-washers, or something, just to ensure my now-tightened screws are not pressing on the LCD.
Genius. Popped the back off with a knife, loosened the screws down the left side of the screen a quarter of a turn, and now it's perfect - no more squeaking, no more raised screen. Took about 2 mins to do it.
Also, for those who want a decent cover, I bought a Belkin case from PC World yesterday (quite pricey at £30 but I like to try these things out before I buy them rather than just buy online). Even though it's designed for the 7" Samsung Galaxy Tab, it's a near-perfect fit for the Nexus 7. Speaker cut-out is in the wrong place but it doesn't affect the quality noticeably (besides, I hook mine up via Bluetooth to a Jawbone Jambox). Also got myself a sat nav mount and stuck it on the wall next to my bed, so my Nexus 7 is now a handy portable TV
I fixed mine without even getting inside. Just used a blowdryer and heat up the side while holding the screen down. Seemed to stay put and still is.
Simply awesome, completely fixed that annoying screen bulge on the left side!
I have recently discovered a big stain on the top left corner of my 16GB screen. I'm not sure where it came from. I've used it for a few days when I decided to wipe it down with a microfiber cloth to no avail. The stain is on the outside of the glass. It feels rougher than the rest of the glass and especially noticeable when running over it with a stylus. I've also tried to wipe it down with a little bit of water, and noticed it beads differently than the rest of the glass.
Not sure what I can do to remedy this. I just might have to return it to Staples.
If you can simply return it then I wouldn't chance trying to fix it.
Strange problem.
That's what you get for drinking coffee and using your nexus 7.
But seriously though, just return it.

does it look like it is just under the surface of the glass or on top of the glass, could be a problem with the glue etc which should be a returnable thing, you could have put something hot on the screen maybe and its done something with the glue?

it's definitely on on top of the glass
the stain is not that noticeable unless you view it from an angle.

Did you get any kind of solvent or solvent residue on the screen?
Same Staining Issue
Thought it was a smudge. At least Google was quick to remedy the problem.
I have the same problem on mine. Its almost a perfect circle on the lower right hand side of the screen when in portrait mode. That spot was a real grease magnet.
Just cleaned off the screen and put on a screen protector and now it is no longer a problem.

So a screen protector solved the issue and made your spot unnoticeable? I called ASUS (didn't get mine from the Play Store) and sounds like they're willing to do an RMA. Not sure if I want to go through that hassle though, especially if a screen protector will solve the problem... not sure what I'll get back since I don't have the screen lift or any other issues with it
Bro the trick is when you're watching "Videos" that usually come in Adobe Flash only to aim away from the device....you know coughing and...other......stuff.... J/k rofl glad a screen protector fixed it for ya but there must have been a solvent on the screen or even if you touched something and had residue on your hands that could do it also.

I have the same problem with the perfect circle on the bottom right in portrait mode! Was thinking whether I should request exchange from newegg or Asus. However as per Pixelens comment, my N7 don't have other issues with flickering, screen lift etc. It bothers me only when I switch the screen off and at the correct light reflection.
Ok, so I have had the screen lift problem. It's on the left side worst in the middle. I decided I would take it apart and do the shims between the screws thing. But when I got it open the lift disappeared. So it's a problem with the back pressing up just enough... I noticed a pretty thick piece of foam right on the center left so I removed it. Just replaced the case and tada the tape is holding the screen flat just fine now. Just thought I would pass this on with the other fixes.

I noticed last time I opened it that this foam had some compression marks. Likely from pressing against the back. Mine was slightly misaligned, so really only part was compressed. I had the same thought, i.e. remove it. Maybe align it, but it's glued on tight.
So I just removed it. I'll let you know how it turns out in a day or 2.
I also use 3 washers for the top 3 on the left, which helped huge. Hopefully this will make it perfect.
Update Sept 1. This definitely helps. Noticed from pics on another thread that some new models have this foam removed, as shipped. Interesting. Also, on new models, some have screws missing (2 and 4, starting top left). I tried removing screw 2 but when I woke up I noticed creaking and movement at the bezel, when I press my left thumb inwards, which is something I always do. So I put the screw (and washer) back in this morning. Perfect now. But removing this foam was essential, so thanks again.
Makes sense. The screen is dead flat, so it has to be the back case that is separating. Thanks for the info.

It was covered in the main screen lift thread, which is like 90 pages long and has every possible remedy tested, dissected and mostly debunked. The fact is there are several factors causing the lift and there need to be several solutions to really fix it 100%, and permanently. You can make it better in various ways, one of which is removing that foam, although I believe the foam is there to keep the back from flexing and compressing those metal "prongs", causing them to lose contact. So you might have other problems later without the foam. I probably wouldn't mess with it, personally.
I personally think a workable solution for most N7's with this problem would be to shave that foam down evenly by like 0.3mm, then clamp the screen to the trim and leave it in a hot car like that for a day or so to re-adhere, without the back cover on. Then cool the tablet down and replace the back cover. The hard part is evenly shaving down the foam; it is just a tiny bit too big. But it should be present.
Well I thought I could live with it but the lift is back.... I have also noted that my 8gb gets really poor wifi connection compared to my wife's 16gb. All the clips are still contacting the back plate but I can see no difference in signal with or without the back on. So, I just called google and they are shipping out a new unit for me tomorrow. Hopefully this one is better.
Took the back off to look at screen lift fix. Low & behold 3 screws missing on the LH side of the unit. Also some fingerprints on the copper plates, 2 loose (more than 1 full turn to tighten) screws on the RH side, metal tape/gauze over phone socket loose.

Thanks for all this info. My foam was glued at about 25 degrees off-angle, and clearly compressed at the corner closest to the bezel, so a problem for mine' right from the factory. I didn't get it all off, but most for sure. Once removed, the bulge I had at that point between the bezel and rear case was gone. So was some screen lift' although the washers helped more for that. Not a big win, just another step forward.
I'm still curious why some pics on other thread show no foam, as shipped.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30974024
From my looking, it's in a seemingly non-functional gap, and presses down a wide cable (or something). I earlier traced movement of that cable as the source of 'creaking' I was having, i.e. when it moved against another piece of plastic beside the bezel. I put some lithium where it rubbed and the creaking stopped. Mind you I did that (and the 3 washers precisely tightened) before i removed most of the foam.
My Tf101 was a lot less maintenance than this one. But once done (crossing fingers lol), it's causing my iPad3 to collect dust. This thing just screams. Loving it.
Again, thanks for the info.

During the past 2 months I've gone through four different Nexus 7 tablets (two C6Os, a C7O, and C8O) from Google Play. All had loose glass on the left side that bothered me and the USB port on the last one even died. So I called Google and they are just giving me a refund at this point.
I went out and grabbed a Kindle Fire HD thinking about making the switch. And it's a nice tablet for Amazon content... but I'd really still like to have a Nexus 7. So I went out to Walmart and bought one, figuring I could at least return it quickly if it's messed up like all the rest.
I checked the box and saw it is a C8O. Opened it up and checked the glass. Oh my god, it looks perfect. The glass is just slightly below the silver rim on all side.
Same here, i got s C80 nexus 7 16 Gb at local walmart and ran my fingernail around the whoel tab and there is no screen lift. looked at all angles and no lift, no creaks, no sounds and no retarded loose speaker.
took the tab into a completly dark room and then turned on the tab to full brightness and performed a reboot and watched the screen around all edges and saw no light bleed. downloaded a LCD test app form the market and tested full brightness all colors including white and black and saw no light bleed anywhere.
im very happy with this unit and after 3 weeks no issues yet. (cross fingers)
Got mine (well my dad did) from the local office max, and yes the left side of the screen is a bit lifted very small though, only noticed if you touch it, and only "rises" if the tablet is hot. My cover is arriving soon and I am way out here in Brazil, so calling Google for warranty is kinda impossible lol!
I really am unsure if I have the screen lift issue. I noticed the left side is not evenly as low as the whole right side is. It isn't majorly uneven so I am thinking I do not have it. It really doesn't look like an issue, but I am scared if I do have that issue since I heard it can crack. Also, I was just squeezing the left side of the bezel and some SNAP sound happened, as if something snapped in place. I don't know what happened but my screen is working correctly, still.

It really doesn't look like an issue, but I am scared if I do have that issue since I heard it can crack. Also, I was just squeezing the left side of the bezel and some SNAP sound happened, as if something snapped in place. I don't know what happened but my screen is working correctly, still.

If you can physically see it acting spongy under your touch, then it's screen lift. Basically the screen "flexes" - if not, then it's just poor mounting but probably not a problem in the long run.
My new N7 sounds a little like yours...on the right side the bezel is just a tiny tiny bit higher than the glass...on the left side, the glass is a tiny tiny bit higher than the bezel. However, the screen doesn't move or flex at all.
Glad to hear you finally got a good n7. The one I pre ordered had screen lift so I had it replaced and so far this one is great (knock on wood).

I just noticed that the top edge of my screen isn't flush with the speaker. It's slightly raised and my finger sorta nicks it every time I swipe down. Is this a normal thing or a slight defect?

It seems that it is an issue. I have the silver and its very minimal and isn't an issue for me. I've since ordered the black as a replacement (wanted black in the first place) and is much worse and not acceptable to me, and the top speaker grill has 3 scratches on it so I called sprint and they are processing an order to replace the black.

I think its a lack of quality control. Some are flush, some aren't. If it bothers you, you may want to see about exchanging it and be sure to point out that you believe it is a manufacturer's defect (this will be key in avoiding the Sprint restocking fee assuming you bought from Sprint). Another thing to consider is that if you intend to put a screen protector on the device, screen protectors only cover the glass and not the speaker grills. Therefore the "nick" you describe will be present even if you have a flush screen because the screen protector will create a non-flush edge (and the "nick" will be even larger if you apply it to your current device).
batch problem maybe, lack of quality control.
I have the opposite issue at the bottom. The screen appears to be sunken in ever so slightly on the sides, while the speaker is flush with the sides and its flush at the top. I can feel it somewhat, but this is my second unit after a dead pixel replacement so I'm probably going to roll with it because the replacement could have bigger issues.
Just picked mine up today. Also noticed the left side of the screen isn't completely flush. The right side is a little closer, but the left side is the worst.

Got my Black replacement yesterday. Very slight raised glass on the top left but it's so minimal I'm not going to complain. I guess 3rd ones a charm. Just sucked dealing with Sprints telesales dept for 2 weeks trying to get a acceptable device.
I'm upset they rushed this phone out without thoroughly looking over It better.. I got the unflush screen, the gap up top.. argued with a sprint rep today about the gap and he opened a new HTC and it had the same problem.. so another rep said the gap is for better antenna signal lol

I have a black one. It is the same. Top left is noticeable. It isnt really bothering me till I get some scratches or nicks in the anodization if u know what I mean.

My HTC one also has a raised screen on the entire top side but the bottom side is flush and everything else about the build quality is good. Eventually, it started bothering me and I ordered a replacement phone (wirefly.com and within my two weeks). The replacement phone had the same problem and it also had a huge gap between the aluminum and white plastic (which my original didn't have). So I ordered another replacement phone and this time the screen is raised on the left top side and lowered on the top right side meaning it's slanted in reference to the body of the phone. And there's a smaller gap between the aluminum and white plastic. I feel like this is going to be an endless cycle. What should I do?
I love the phone but this is bad quality control on HTC's side.

Right now, its pretty much luck of the draw as to if you can get a flush one or not. I guess it will also depend on how much patience you have as to how many times are you willing to do an exchange. Also, just realize that if you do finally get a unit with a flush screen, if you put a screen protector on it, it will only cover the glass and not the speaker grills. This means that the screen protector will then create an edge/lip at the top and bottom of the glass panel so again, it will not feel flush/smooth due to the screen protector.

I don't use a screen protector so that's not a problem. I just want a good phone. How is that I can get three phones that look completely different in build from the same company? That just seems so odd to me and looks bad on HTC's side. I feel like if this is going to be an endless cycle, I might make the switch to a different phone.

It has been said that, that's why the black version' s release was delayed...to correct some minor design flaws, such as the ones you are having problems with....
Hope this helps...

I've had three black HTC Ones and all had the same issue of the screen not being flush with the speaker grills. The issue was definitely not corrected in the black version.

I also got frustrated with HTC quality control issues and some of the software choices they made in Sense 5 and so I am currently trying out a Galaxy S4 (haven't decided if I am going to keep it yet). Its not quite as snappy as the One but its acceptable to me as far as speed goes. No real quality control issues I've noticed and enjoying all the features Samsung has packed into this device. Both devices are great but each has its tradeoffs.
