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.

I have no issues with either of mine (both are 16g pre order units.)

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
speaker volume in the normal range
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

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
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.

16 gig pre-order from the PS and I haven't noticed any issues
So pretty much I ordered my nexus 7 right when it was announced, and due to a shipping error Google wanted another 8 weeks to get it to me from release so I canceled my order. Being the impatient idiot that I am I went and bought a new one off eBay. I am aware of the screen separation issue and it seems that it is affecting my unit on the left side of the screen. It annoys me a bit but I'll live. But my question is will the screen separation slowly get worse and spread? I haven't found a very clear answer.
I would say yes. Mine was 100% fine when I got it, 11 days ago and now has lift and creaking. Seems not as responsive. Sounds like bad first batch

Hmm I really hope that isn't the case with mine because I don't think I'll be able to get Google to replace it because I bought it from eBay. I haven't noticed much of change with mine from day one, but it'd be nice to hear responses from a few other people so I know how screwed I am hahahaha
And I bet you paid 2x the price with no warranty so it can't be fixed now

I got 2 defective N7's....returned them. My plan is to wait until the 2nd "batch" with no defects. Maybe in few months, I will try again.
You should probably return and do what I (and many others), are doing. Wait.
My thinking was, I paid $275 for this, and its defective. Did I come looking for a perfect tablet? Yes. Not a defective one. Its really your call, but I can tell you the problem won't get any better.
Cheers
Mine was just noticeable on day one, within days the screen was visibly moving just by handling the tablet.
So there is every chance it will get worse so I would say get it replaced.
By the same token, there is every chance a replacement will have the same problem and just as much chance that you will get a perfect unit that develops a fault later on.
Suppose it's down to what yo are prepared to put up with.
Personally, if it turned out every unit in the world had a problem I would live with it and just try to find a fix but knowing that there ARE perfeclt good units out there makes it harder to live with.
I'm planning on getting a warranty from squaretrade for the tablet. Mine is fine but just in case something develops down the line I like to have peace of mind
Eh. $40 for a $200 device seems a little much.
kinda off topic but
my screen started something very strange today..
it has these little lines about 1/2 inch long running up and down it at random locations. It looks kinda like some type of render tearing. When you twist the tablet from side to side they kinda glow then go away. They look off shades of the colors being produced by those pixels.. I just noticed this thread and thought i would post here instead of starting another Thread.. Hope you do not mind.
Its so faint i cant get a picture of it at all. Sorry about this.. My question is has anyone ever seen anything like this.. It reminds me of the grid if code on matrix but its not that bad . its always at the same position until you power off then they are right back but different / random locations. They are not lined up in any way except it runs same directing. vertically
.

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...

Many early build revisions of the nexus 7 seemed to have quality issues. I think it has been resolved. Can anyone recommend what build/date revision and later to purchase?
Just order one from play devices and you'll get the latest one....

I'm planning to purchase from staples. I have hundreds in staples gift cards to use. Any date/revision or later I should ensure I buy?
Wanted to bump this for information as well. Looking to purchase one for Christmas and purchase one for my grandpa who is having a slowly deteriorating processing condition.
Have the build issues been resolved?
I think they reduced the problems but never got rid of them. It's always hit or miss. I have an original model without problems, a friend has a c70 with squishy power button and another friend has c80 without problems. Don't worry, if there are problems just take it back to staples.

The one that I got on 29 October from Staples got the screen lift issue after 2 days. It had the serial #C09K (September built). I returned it and then got another one from office depot and so far no issue with the build quality. This one had the serial #CA0K (October built).

I have the latest CA0K and I notice a slight difference between the left and right side. The right side is flush against the silver trim and the left is like 0.1mm raised, it is hard to see. I can feel the difference by running my finger over the trimming where it meets the display. I might exchange it later when there is newer revision again since I have until January to return
Have a CB0K, which I assume is a newer model...has screen lift. :/
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I bought a C07K in August which has a minor screen lift. I just bought another one CB0K model. Screen is perfect, but back cover where screen lift located is loose when you push it you can hear a creaking noise. So I exchanged it for another one CA0K model. This one is so far so good, solid built.
I think I will wait for like a CC0K model or something. I'm not sure if mine is even classified as screen lift as it's less than a 1mm difference but the display is a little recessed on every other edge so I assume it's not normal for only the left side to be a little higher.
Bought my Nexus 7 32gb model from a local walmart with first part of the SSN is C90K. Don't even see any screen lift on the device least that I can see anyways. I had the device for 3 days now and have not found any issues with it yet.
You can try running your finger nail slowly to each edge, the silver trim has a very slight elevation that should barely stop your finger nail from sliding up and over it kind of like a galaxy nexus. It's a subtle detail on the nexus 7

Because I bought it imported from USA , I checked calling ASUS that it has 1 year International warranty. So mine is also C9OK ( O letter , not 0 zero , ASUS explained that to me through their systems ) and its perfect. It came with 4.1.1 version preinstalled
I'm going to get my 7 today
It freshly arrived at Media Markt, after waiting for months.. (actually.. A few days , but it felt like months )

Not 0.1mm but 1mm. How am I complaining? I am just stating what I see. I had my nexus for 2 weeks and I don't want to end up with what could develop into something more serious thus I may exchange it. No, I do not want to fix it any future problems myself and void the warranty. You are complaining about me being detail oriented. There's hardware revisions for a reason. I'm not saying my nexus 7 has a definite flaw that's why I discuss about it for more input.
Soon I paid for my Nexus 7 I told the cashier. I told the cashier I was going to open up the package and look at the device here in the store. I told them about the known issues with some of the batches. Turned the device on I bought right in the store and checked the whole thing out.
After looking it all ever turned out my device it good and solid.
Got this tablet yesterday for x mas and all ready noticing the screen lift on the left hand side. I can get my nail between the Bessel and screen. It is within warranty for the store return, do u guys suggest returning it? Will it get worst?
Why wouldn't you return it? If it started to lift now it will only get worse. Take it back.

Couldn't agree more, my galaxy note has been retired to backup device, luv the tablet, a wee bit disheartening about the screen but that should be fixed soon.
Mine also has screen lift issues. I got mine from Walmart and bought their two year warranty (got 10% off my purchase so it was like buying it from anywhere else) so I'll just keep using it until it gets real bad and then get a replacement.

Dunno on the batch no but my nexus with the problem is 32 gigs
I bought the nexus at launch and went through three devices with such bad screen lift I could fit a dime under them. Gave up and decided to wait until Christmas - the one I just got is much better but the left side still is flush with the bevel. I'm just gonna keep it, I'm sick of returns. Last Asus tablet I'll ever buy that's for sure.

I have a few friends with 16 and 32gb nexi and they haven't had the problem. I bought the first batch of 8gb ones
This issue has been going on since the tablet came out. It's really sad to see that asus hasn't fixed it yet. I'll be waiting until someone else makes a nexus tablet, i'm done with asus. They are dead to me
Thanks man works charm

Why wouldn't you return it? If it started to lift now it will only get worse. Take it back.

For the record, I have a day 1 Nexus 7 with some minor screen lift that has not gotten worse at all. Some spongyness on one tiny part of the screen and that's it.
It's up to you Op. If minor screen lift is the only issue with the device you could always run the risk of replacing it with a device with more issues. If it bothers you enough, definitely try and get a device that is perfect. But if you only noticed the screen lift with a microscope due to the nuttiness that is these forums, you might be OK with what you have.

Just took the back plate off, and tightened the screws on the left side. No more screen lift,. carefully put cover plate back on , and I'm happy I did it.

Ur quite right, I got an xperia play last year that after an hour using touch screen would muck up, spent a month replacing it and wait in for a return on it only to find its really a problem with xperia play in general, and I would b running the risk of a worst one, it does annoy me tho but it is only an ocd way, I'm sure it wouldn't get worst as its not so much the screen lift in from the unit but the unit rising above the left side of the bezel. I'm pass in the shop in a few days anyway, might try one return, if it has the same problem just stick with it as I don't want to spend another month with the hastle of returns, and I do have the years warranty with it anyway but I do think I've a point that I could return it and get something worst,
Well, you can try this if you want, it worked for me.
I say break it send it in and get a new one
You could have used the search function, found one of the myriad of threads that discuss the **** out of this issue and posted in that rather that clutter the forums with conversation that has been talked about before.
I always thought that one of the rules here on XDA is search first before making a new thread.
Little bug bear of mine wading through threads that have been done to death!
