Just got my Google Play order today, everything is fine, box, packaging, etc.
But I ran my fingers down the left side of the Nexus 7 and left a bump.
I tilt the Nexus 7 to get a better look and there's a dent
No bezel "glue/sticky noise" issue, just a dent
Guess I'll call Google tomorrow, we'll see how "if you buy from Play Store, you get support from Google and not Asus" works and how good it is.
Anyone know what phone number to call for Nexus 7 issues? Sorta having a hard time finding support.
Ouch...that sucks. Definitely get a new one.
Can you please check in at the sticky thread in the Q&A section if you haven't already. Thanks.

I have to call tomorrow too. I was sent a Nexus 7 with a crack in the screen. I'm expecting google to tell me they will send a shipping label, and upon arrival of my defective Nexus 7, they will ship a new one out. I'm guessing this process will take 3 to 4 weeks.
But, I'm hoping they say "We will ship a new unit immediately. Upon arrival of the new unit, please return your defective Nexus 7."
Just got off the phone with Google Support, 1-855-83-NEXUS, was on hold for 55 minutes before I talked to someone.
The guy had to escalate my issue because it's a physical damage of the device, and I should get a reply back within 48hours, the guy only asked my email and that was it.
He seemed very rushed.

Ffuuuuuuu...that's a long wait..
I've got an issue but I'm gonna wait til Friday to call.hopefully all the shipping issues will have been resolved.. I'm sure that's the bulk of the calls they're getting
I have the same issue, but mine doesnt seem to be as bad as yours, mines not really visible unless you look at it from the back, it doesnt annoy me that much though seeing as its working perfectly. How did your complaint go through?
Does anyone know if the bezel is an seperate part from the glass? or are they together? I was wondering if you can just replace the bezel.

You can pop the back off, loosen the screw that is next to the spot where it's sticking out, push the bezel in towards the glass, hold it in place and tighten the screw.
My first unit had a bump like that, maybe not quite as bad.
The problem seemed to go away by itself after using it for a while.
I guess I must have straightened it out while holding it.
I still had to return the unit because it had the screen raise issue, though
All this talk about dead pixels,dust, screens coming apart etc. I have not one issue with my Rooted N7 and my First ever tablet .

I think most people who get a defective unit complain... while most that don't have no reason to post that they rec'd a great product. I myself have a flawless one as well. Plus 5 of my friends...
I'm about to be on my third and my patience is starting to run thin. May keep the next one regardless and RMA direct with Asus. Scary that I'm actually expecting it to be faulty and hope its broken enough for RMA.

No issues here.
99% of the noise is either people with WAY out of kilter expectations for a £160 tablet, or are simply Apple shills.
You also have to consider that on forums like this, you will only ever hear from people with problems. Nobody comes here to say things are running fine.
Every device has manufacturing issues for sure, but considering the high numbers of Nexus7 devices shipped, and the rock-bottom pricing, it's actually rather good. Although try telling gutter press reporters like The Register and Engadget this, they will stir up an old crap if it means website hits. Both sites have destroyed their credibility in recent years over desperate fanboy reporting.

Mine is 100% perfect. The couple of people that I know personally with N7's have no issues either. I'm starting to think there is a lot more fiction than fact in these forums.
No issues at all. Screen is flush. Ran a display test and no dead pixels. All is well

had the thing less than 24 hrs:
screen good no dead pixels or flicker or construction problems
headphone socket seems ok

only quandary is which gel case to buy ...
You sure you have a flawless nexus 7? Please make a video and post it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789450
Download the multitouch test app, put your tablet on the table and make the axis cross, like in the OP video.
Thank you very much, we really need your feedback to know if we should RMA it. Cheers!
Nope. Mine is flawless.
Another 100% perfect tablet here. This is my first tablet and I have to say that it is unbelievable, especially at this price point. I really think that both the hardware and software on this thing gives us a snapshot into the future of these devices.
I already want to integrate jellybean into some sort of home automation system. With Google Now the possibilities are very cool.
Everything is great except looking on the centre of the left long side the screen is like half a mm lifted but don't mind it and wouldn't have noticed it if I didn't know what to look for

Got to play with a brand new one for a week, flawless.. I've now seen 3 additional units, they look ok as well.
Don't know of anyone personally who has one with any issues yet. None of these people use forums.
Via my HTC Rezound
After a few hours fine so far, touch wood.
No dead/stuck pixels.
No sign of screen lift, though I gather this may not be immediately evident.
Don't notice any ghosting.
Thought headphone socket was broken till I realised you need to push a bit harder than I'm used to on other devices to get them to click in place.
Only small glitch was while undergoing a lot of switching between different wifi options (testing speeds on home wifi, mobile tether blue tooth tether etc) settings force closed and sound stopped working till after reboot.
Free content is junk like I expected.
After unlocking bootloader used another email seem to have a second offering of credit. Didn't have card registered so it says I'll get credit when I register a card. Will wait till I have used first credit and know more about any repercussions for this.

Why should someone seek out a defect they wouldn't ordinarily notice or care about? Yes, you can be a hypochondriac when it comes to electronics too. Realistically we all have "something wrong" with us at any given time, and the same thing can be said about your electronic device.
Each and every device (not just N7s) out there has some kind of "minor defect" (and by that I mean doesn't work precisely as the owner might expect). The point is, owner who aren't obsessed about having a "perfect" device don't run 20 different diagnostic apps to try to hunt down that "defect".
I'm not saying every person who complains about a defect is a hypochondriac, there are definitively a select few real issues out there just like their always have been and always will be with every electronic device. However, there are many many more people who will just never be pleased, like those who have had multiple RMAs.
I have had mine since the 17th, no problems yet.

I'm sorry to say my second Nexus 7 despite initially looking good has now popped the left side of its glass and displayed a stuck green sub-pixel. I'm really disappointed as I think its a fantastic device apart from the poor QC. I may try and buy later if I see on this forum that ASUS have got there act together.
Good luck to all who are trying to get a decent unit.
Poor QC, overinflated expectations for a entry level device, or a newly registered shill poster.
I replaced mine through the play store and its perfect. Maybe I just got lucky.

Here is a thought... A crazy one I know but here you go....
Instead of constantly replacing a newly released device because of minor screen lift that does not effect normal use how about taking a chill pill, breathing in and out and relaxing?
Mine has screen lift and it still works great! Me? I will wait a few months and replace it once the flaw is fixed in manufacturing and there has been enough time to filter out all the flawed still in stock versions...
When I picked up my first one and it had screen lift, I was disappointed and angry. When I exchanged for a second one and it had screen lift and a non-functioning touch screen, I was just angry. When I picked up my third one with screen lift I just shrugged. Yesterday I picked up my fourth one with screen lift and a loudly popping speaker and I just laughed :silly:
There must be bad lots or something?
On my first unit I bought at staples and everyone I know local has no issues and no replacements. I have been and will keep looking for issues on them but so far so good.

Yeah, what is up with people, expecting a product without defects? That is just weird.
Hopefully those people get filtered out of the gene pool and we can live in a peaceful future were defects are accepted as normal.

I'll bet that what actually happens is you'll send yours in, and you'll receive a refurb with EXACTLY the same problem. But you're so Zen-like about the whole thing, you'll just smile and go through the process over and over and never lose your cool. I envy your calm.
Of course, you'll have to hope the defect is obvious immediately, because every time you connect a new device to your Google account (and granted, one should put a hard limit on how many defects one accepts before considering the product to be junk) you'll use up a Google Music activation. And we can only deactivate 10 devices in a year. A big deal? Maybe, if you go through freaking defective products like this trying to get one that works decently.
Oh, and that will be another device that shows up in your list in Google Play that you can't delete. You'll remove it from the menu, but it'll be sitting there, taunting you.
Oh, and maybe you open an ebook on the defective that's limited to 3 devices, and then you can't open the book on your new one. And maybe the "remove from device" option isn't there, so you have to go through Google to get things fixed. But hey, relax, right?
If you're happy to sit on a defective device for months with the hope that it'll be better fixed later, knock yourself out. For some of us, the Nexus 7 is a special device, being the only Nexus tablet, and we just want one without defects. This whole preachy routine really does get a bit old.

Here is a rational thought.
How about a device should not have a so called minor screen lift issue. That moves around when you touch you the screen. That when you pick up the device and hold it the damn thing feels like it is falling apart and about to simply break.
Only a fool would accept that and keep the device. It doesn't affect normal use? What are you smoking? A touch screen device with a defective screen doesn't effect normal use? So you're going to keep a bad crappy device for a couple of months because hell I don't know why. So everybody else should keep their as well.
These devices currently have a ton of QC issues. Fact. People will report and discuss them. The only trolls are the people that keep saying people reporting issues etc must be trolling.

Guess how many devices I have linked to my account? lol
Seven GNex phones and two N7s. I've returned 4 N7s but one of them had a broken touch screen so I couldn't actually set it up and on the other the screen lift was so bad that I didn't bother powering it up. Crazy stuff. I honestly don't know why I keep coming back to the Nexus brand after my recent experiences.
Here's an actual rational though.
Only a fool would fail to read and call someone out for something opposite of what they said.
CHILL OUT, COUNT TO 10 before you make yourself look like an idiot again. He never suggested you accept a flaw, he said that repeatedly doing the same thing and expecting a different result is not the best idea. Obviously you want the device, but instead of complaining about it here, which will do absolutely freaking nothing, why not take a breath and waiting a week? Rapid fire returns sure haven't worked for you yet.
Yawn....
Every device has growing pains the the N7 is no different... Google botched the pre-orders and they have a manufacturing issue to correct...
I will TRY and make this simple...
Let say Google had 10 million produced before they correct the manufacturing process / defect.. Now lets say they sold 5 million... That leaves 5 million defective units still on shelves / in stock...
You can continue to exchange it until the cows come home and guess what? Your replacement is going to come from the defective (read: in stock) pile until the defect is corrected and the originally shipped (read: defective) units have been depleted...
Save yourself the headache, stress, tantrums and wait a few months for the issue to be resolved and the fixed units to become the in stock norm...
If the unit has an issue that prevents it from functioning then that's another matter... Slight screen raise is not one of those... Keep on replacing it and keep getting the same (read: originally manufactured defect) unit in the mail... It's your headache not mine and I'm not the one throwing a tantrum in an online forum..
I will wait a few months and exchange mine once Google has resolved the issue and the in stock tablets are that of the fixed variety...

You said you are fine with screen lift. Screen lift is a defect.
My google experience
I pre ordered the google nexus 7 on the day the went on sale. One week after they started shipping i sent google a email asking them when mine would ship. I was told within a week. Two weeks later i call them to see what is up. As at this point my account was charged for the device. They tell me shipping any day. Two days later i see on my wallet account as google nexus 16 gb ORDER CANCELED BY SELLER.
So i call google back and ask what is up. they said it was a computer issue. And that i would have to reorder. At this time they where backorderd for up to 4-6 weeks on the 8 gb . OUT OF STOCK ON 16. So i ordered the 8 gb version. After a week i received it. Two weeks later i start seeing lines on the screen when you hold it on the left side of the screen as well as the screen moving.
I CALL GOOGLE BACK . they tell me that I can send it back and DO A advance replacmeent exchange. I tell them im not having my money put on hold. I will send it back in a few weeks and just reorder another device when they receive it.
So i decided to just order the device and send this back into them when i receive the new device. .
Its now the end of Aug the new device comes in the mail . It comes in with a CRACKED SCREEN . SO not 30 minutes after usp drops the device off i call GOOGLE YET AGAIN. TO GET A RMA for the brand new replacement device. I GET THAT JUST FINE.Send google this device that i only had for 30 minutes in my posession. still at this time holding on the original device as its still working . you just cant push on the left side of screen. GOOGLE Recieved the device on the 5th of september. Since then i have had several phone calls and exchange of emails. Being told that the device i sent them back was the original device and they WOULD NOT ISSUE A REFUND OR REPLACE THE DEVICE. STATING THAT i would have to prove what device i sent in. They have it so i have no way of doing so . Other then they can see what device is being used and connected to my google wallet. They understand and can see this so im told. But still refuse to help me in any way. So now today on 9/27 I contact them for the last time and demand i get a RMA to send the original device back to them as proof that it was not the one they keep saying they have. SO NOW GOOGLE HAS ALL OF MY MONEY BOTH OF MY DEVICES . AND COULD CARE LESS ABOUT ME AS A CUSTOMER
I'm sorry about your adverse experience with Google CS, I truly am! But, maybe you should read the advice in your signature. I mean, you have told your story in pretty much every thread in the General/Question sections.

This has nothing to do with the device breaking or working perfectly.. This is about there whole shopping refund situation..As far as those with the screen cracking . Google and asus knows this is a issue in certain situations. Asus sent me a email re-guarding the screen crack on my tablet and explained there was a metal shaving under the glass.
The issue is about them tying to say i sent them back the wrong tablet . a 8 gb version and trying to claim a refund on 16 gb version.. As far as spaming every post . this is the first time i posted about a refund issues. First time i posted about GOOGLE Outright telling me NO WE are not issuing a refund and we WILL NOT send you the device back or replace it...
I know this really does not belong on a development forum. But there are so many others as well that do not belong here.I can see how people who have had a perfect experience with google will just look over this thread or spam it as i see several have done. My whole experience with buying this device has been one hassle after another.Something you will not get from say Amazon.
Yes i created this thread to blow off some steam and also because i know Google is reading this Forum.
People have a right to know what Could happen to them... Thats all..
so i will say one more time . there is no issue with how the device was damaged . the issue is them claiming im trying to steal from them.
I do not think its google its the google Device store and there policy.There are many post all over about issues this is not the first...

Why a ipad .. the issue is with the google play devices store . Not Android or google development . Sometimes its not what you buy something but where you buy it that can damage the experience..

Looks like demo Ones are starting to pop up in stores. I was at my local Best Buy today (in Oceanside, CA), and they had both the silver and black demo units.
Two things: I LOVE the feel of that cool metal. It's super. And a lot of people were saying the black one is like a fingerprint magnet, but I didn't get that impression when messing with it. Even the bf, who has the world's sweatiest hands, said it wasn't terribly bad. May be different on the real thing though.
I called 2 Sprint stores (one corporate, one not) and neither had demos, but BB did! Anyone else been playing on demo units in their store?

The demo unit were actual working units or the summy versions? I know Best buy has dummy version on the shelves but they have actual working units behind the counter.
When I went into my local best buy a couple days ago they only had the dummy versions. I'm surprised yours has working ones.

Dummy. I didn't even ask the guys behind the counter if they had working ones, but I did go to 3 Best Buys and only 1 of them had the dummies.

I saw the black dummy model at one of my best buys. I get the impression that it's not the same material as the actual one because, like you said, absolutely no fingerprints.
Plus the pieces seemed too .. Together? And the power button wasn't click able. So I'm skeptical on how much of the actual materials and design was part of the dummy besides the look.
Plus why would they do the 200 minute carving process on dummy units.
Just throwing things out there. Not even that important. :beer:

Yeah, I was a bit skeptical because of that fact as well. I was really gunning for the black One at first, but I started having second thoughts when people were saying it was difficult to wipe the fingerprints off the back, since I was planning to use the phone naked. (That and the possibly of silver-colored metal showing through the scratches.) But I guess in the end I didn't have much of a choice in the matter anyway, since black release is still TBD. The dummy units still feel really nice though.
