Hi guys, after having so much trouble last year with screen lift issue I quit on nexus 7,
So 2 days ago still wanting a nexus I just gave a second chance and got a new 32gb. Looks like the screen lift is no more here but now I notice a very different hue tint on screen, is very pink/yellowish in compare to my iPad, and my kid nabi 2, I went to store and compared with an open one they have and is obvious mine was very pink/yellowish, I also notice that mine was extremely more bright at full brightness and colors looks good just whites are out of balance, but since I use to read books on white background and browsing the web I hate the pinkish on white background.
I got a replacement one and looks exactly like the returned one. So what you think guys/? Did the newest batch of nexus are all like this, did Asus are using a different screen to solve the screen lift issue?
Should I keep this one. ?
Another thing I notice shadows on left an right side when in portrait mode. Whites looks like an old pirate map.

Might be tech ocd might also just be a very slight tint. I have a brand new 32gb model and I am very impressed with the screen this device packs. Asus might have changed something regarding display in the newer models. Not to sure though.
Edit: this is my 3rd nexus 7. The other two were faulty. (Coaster rings in middle of display + clicking sound due to faulty back cover)

Also not every device has the same LCD. Many devices have different colour saturation, tint, etc..
This is not normal ? Or all new models are like this?

Doesn't look normal to me. I would be taking it back to the store.
That looks defective to me. I haven't seen any pinkish tinges on any of the N7s I've seen at stock settings.

This is the second one in a raw from different stores, I'm afraid if I returned I will get the same again.

I bought a Nexus 7 in August, sold two months later. Last month I bought another one and returned it one week later because I needed money. I bought my 3rd Nexus 7 today! They had no issues at all and I was/am happy with my Nexus 7!
Maybe FutureShop Canada is getting the good ones

Please !
Can you take a picture like the one I post, comparing your nexus with any PC or other tablet.
I'm frustrated. But still like the nexus 7, overall the colors looks sharp and when im out of my pc.s using my nexus my eyes think is a fair white screen, but working on any of my PC,s then going to the nexus is like looking at a PinkyPad

Yeah man. Your nexus looks with a very good hue tint in compare with the viao..
maybe I'm cursed or maybe being a graphic designer I'm too picky or perfectionist with colors,,
I will give a little time to see if colors get better, maybe the screen LEDs need to cure or something

I wonder if it has anything to do with where bought it, maybe you would have better luck elsewhere?

Mine is from GameStop. I cant returned for a refund since I got it with a gift card.. I gave them my WII and my 360 both were dust collectors
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
You can't even swap it for a different one? Even though you purchase with a gift card it still represents a value (in your case apparently the exact value of one Nexus 7) which should function as it should. Let the shop return the faulty one themselves.
Yap, I did swaped once the very next day, just to get a second nexus exactly identical, but from a different location.. I have 30 days so I maybe wait for the next batch. Maybe I'm lucky and grab a rumored nexus 7 2nd gen
next

Awesome! I thought I was the only one with a coaster ring
This is my fifth one so I'll deal with the ring. It goes away when I buff the screen, but comes back when I start touching the screen again...fingerprints

I only have the problem when I use the device for long time. I was charging it for couple hours then when I turned it on the screen was fine but after 15 minutes of reading the spots came back.

I got two from sams in IL. Didn't notice any problems on either of em. At least not yet
can you post a picture?
I also got mine from Sams last Friday (Mckinney, Texas) and its perfect with no issues or blemishes. Well, except for having to find a work around for Flash, but that goes without saying. Lol A little fiddling around fixed that though.
These are the pics
U can see the tint on the bottom left also on the whole left edge of the screen.

This was the first thing i noticed when using my Nexus 7 for a couple of hours. Two spots in two corners, very noticeble with white background.
However I remember hearing about other devices with LCD screens having the same problem initially (iphone 4 one of the devices if I remember) but would dissapear over time. So I thought I would give it some time.
The next day I couldn't see any of the spots and I've not seen it since. This was two weeks ago.

Mine seem to get worse the longer I use the device. I called support and they are issuing me an RMA for "yellowing", but the cart-link system was down and I was instructed to call again tomorrow.
I received my shipment today.
The very first thing I did after signing in was update the system to 4.1.1.
After playing for a few minutes I noticed a dead or stuck pixel on the right side of the screen. I ran the display test app and found another dead pixel in the middle of the screen.
I tried the camera with Google hangouts and Skype and all I get is garbled green signal. Using the nexus 7 camera launched yielded the same result.
Doing a full factory reset did not fix the problems.
Needless to say this going back. I'm disappointed that this excellent device is having these quality issues.
I have a single dead pixel on the very edge. It's only visible on a completely black screen so I'm gonna live with it.
Good luck with your return.

I would recommend you get it exchanged. At the end of the day its still a defect. Maybe wait a little while so they have more stock to ship another one.

I'm thinking of buying a Nexus 7, but I'm seeing tons of people posting with all kinds of screen problems. I'm wondering, is everyone having issues, or is it just the people who are having issues that are posting? So if you have a Nexus 7 and it is working great, I would love to hear from you.
No problems what so ever, ordered 27 June, got it yesterday and I've been through two full battery charges and rooted and its still running like a champ. Don't hesitate!

Mines great! It's probably just a 'nexus' of complaints here! Where else would you talk about it, that's making it look worse than it is perhaps.
Only problem I had was that it turned up TOTALLY empty of charge and needed a few minutes to get past 0%. Once done, it's been working great.
No flicker
No squeaky sides
No raised glass
It works and works great.
Non-rooted(so far), standard rom. Nothing out of the usual.
I dont! absolutely love the device!

As per any new device, there are bound to be ones that make it thru production with a problem or two. Apparently screen issues have been what's the most prominent.

No problems at all. My device is flawless. Great build quality on it.
Might be better if you create a poll then you will truly see most don't suffer from reported issues. It could be as simole as do you have any major hardware issues vs. Those who dont. Or are you satisfied with your nexus 7 vs. Those who arwnt. If you do, change thread title also. The complaints will always be voiced more over those who satisfied with their devices.
I'd easily recommend anyone to buy one of these ASAP.
No problems at all with mine.I am very happy with mine.Fast,looks good
And no issues with anything I have tried to do with it.
Everything is flawless here too. Highly recommended. The UI smoothness has me sold.

I've got 3 dead pixels at the very bottom trim of the screen which are only barely noticable when watching a movie with weird borders.
Not returning it because of that, still very happy.
Mine came form google play perfect expect screen Flickr which I think is a driver issue.
Some people reporting getting replacements with the same exact issue.

It's either:
1) google employee exclusive
2) a really good optical illusion
3) reflection from the light box
This is already being discussed in another thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962811
I'm pretty certain if it was white the face(? lol) would be white too, it's probably just a reflection. Although in my local Phone Shop they have a Nexus 4 wall and it advertises black and white.
I only like white versions if both the front and back are white. Hate the zebra look

Correct me if im wrong but the U.S (Blk) version of the Gnex was released in Dec 2011 and the (wht) version was released 2mon later Feb 2012 over seas ?? Thing is i bought my white GNexus from NEGRIEL ELECTRONICS for $600.00+ so even if they release a white one its going to cost almost double! so now theres 2 things u can do.. buy the black version and when/if the white comes out buy the 'back glass plate' separate and switch it oput buy unscrewing the screws on the bottom of the phone.. or just wait for the white version.
I believe theyll make a white version (see attached pix)

I am wondering if £220 is the price that Google sell it to the CPW for... that price showed up in their system a few days ago (before the launch).
Seems crazy to up the price by more than £100, but people will pay it. It is still quite cheap compare to other phones, if you don't know what Google sell it for...
Bought nexus 4 last month it was 301k then found its volume down button doesnt work so called Google managed to get replacement so Today I received my replacement phone which surprisingly 301k but after playing with it whole day I've found many difference between my new one and the faulty one.
The screen is much brighter in the faulty one, white looks very bright which looks very good but screen is kinda yellowish on the new one. I've installed pa ROM on both phone because its colour calibration is much better than stock, however blue colour looks natural on my new phone that's probably because of yellowish screen but on the other it hurts my eyes as its screen is bright.
Vibration is little bit strong on the new phone.
Sound through earpiece was louder on the faulty one but not that loud on my new phone but I still think its loud.
Phone gets warm quickly on the new one. Therefore faulty one has best benchmark score.
Camera is good on the both but on the new one camera lens placed very accurately.
Battery life is same but new phone charges quicker than the faulty one. Left them on charge today new phone was full charged after approx. 2.15 hr and faulty one was full charged after 2.35 hr.
Pressing buttons experience good on new phone but on the faulty one buttons are hard to press.
That's all I have found sending my phone back to Google tomorrow but I liked the faulty one screen looks very vibrant and bright if I could fix the volume button I would have kept it. By the way has anyone else noticed any difference on their replacement phone. I could make a video but don't have any camera but managed to take a photo of both phone.

I don't believe the revision changed anything of this nature. Spreading these types of rumors are what makes all the dummies go and rma when they're is nothing wrong with the current phone..
To the op... You are saying that both phones are turned all the way low with brightness? Your old one hurts your eyes when turned down?
I think every phone will look a little different but it could be due to using different versions of the rom and Kernal you are using. To compare you should bring them both to stock and make sure they are using the same versions.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Not all phones are exactly the same. I would suggest find a ROM/kernel / and color preset found in XDA That makes your phone to your liking. Unless you feel like u have a serious issue then get another replacement.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Well neither I'm saying something wrong with my new phone nor saying I'm gonna RMA my device. Just feeling but wired that new one has different things than old one. yes I've installed same ROM on both and same brightness level but the display is just a bit yellowish believe me or not on stock you can see the difference.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I noticed similar differences. I have had my rev10 for 2.5 months now and just bought a rev11 this week and definitely noticed a little more of a yellowish coloring on the new one. I also did notice the 11 did have a stronger vibrate than my 10 did. I did not however notice any differences in the earpiece quality.

Screen being a bit yellowish is a good thing cause less chance to get yellow spot which I had on my first nexus from first batch. This is my third nexus by the way and I have to say I have had different experience with three of these phone

Give the screen some time to cure. The yellow will go away. The glue needs to dry
