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

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
Just received my order of two 16GBs yesterday. The first one (for myself) has a black dot between the screen and the glass, right in the middle. I tried to live with it but its very distracting especially on a light background.
Today I unboxed the other one and it won't even turn on. Plugged it to the charger and the LED light kept flashing red.
I'm very disappointed with the QC of the N4. So much for fighting through orders and shipping

Sorry dude. People were so pleased when Google announced the price of this thing.

I don't think price comes into factor with defects. I paid the same price as the OP and my phone has no defects and has been running flawlessly. And I am pretty sure if we all paid double, we still would be seeing the posts with defects, lol.

Yeah I agree if they had charged us an extra $150 each I think they could have done at least something to improve the quality and reduce defects. Of course, knowing Google they probably would have just given us the middle finger, kept the extra cash, and sent out defective products anyways.
Sad. But that's now my impression of Google.

Of course quality control affects price. QC can be very labor intensive($$$), from just auditing the boards and components at various levels of production, to scrap (throwing away defective product $$$) or rework (labor intensive $$$) of product with defects. I speak from experience here. No doubt QC suffered in order to offer the Nexus 4 at this price. Of course, it probably didn't suffer as much as it might have from other manufactures, as Google does not have to make money on the device itself as they can rake in the money from the Play store.
I mean, I love that I am able to purchase such a high end device for $299/349, but I think we really have to worry about what this will do to the rest of the Android ecosystem. Amazon has already been putting the hurt on everybody (other than Apple) in the tablet market with their Fire tablets (again, they can make money from the Amazon app store, and other content), and now Google is putting the Squeeze on everybody else with the Nexus 4, the Nexus 7, and the Nexus 10.
Competition is good for everybody, but if only Apple, Amazon and Google can make money due to owning the content stores, then that's a bad omen for the industry IMHO. But I digress.
You know I see everyone blaming Google when Google didn't make the hardware. They only did the software. I saw this coming when then announced LG was the hardware OEM. They have never been known for outstanding hardware.

Google was the supervisor of the whole project. Google selected LG. If you think the phone is perfect, Google deserves most of the credit. If you think it sucks, Google deserves much of the blame.

Plug it into USB port of computer and leave for half hour.
This happens on a few android devices when fully discharged and pc charging is the only way to do it sometimes.

I've got an rma out for mine for a similar issue, there's a black squiggly line going across my camera lens...seems like it's probably stuck between my camera lens and the glass. Not a huge deal, but definitely an annoyance to have to send it back, especially after unlocking and rooting it.

I'm inclined to believe that offering these Nexus devices at such a low price has resulted in quality control going out the window, as well as warranty. The Nexus 4 seems to have a lot of issues and the Nexus 7 has had its fair share as well.
I had a Nexus 7 and the first one I got had a washed out screen and the well known screen lift on the left side so I exchanged it and my second one only had screen lift as well but to a much lesser degree so I kept it. A couple months go by and I go to pick it up off my table, placing my thumb on that left side and the screen cracked from one side to the other, leaving the top portion unresponsive to touch. I called up both ASUS and Google and neither would do anything about it.
That experience and what I'm seeing here about the Nexus 4 has resulted in me losing faith in Nexus devices, which sucks because I loved the Galaxy Nexus and was really looking forward to this year's Nexus phone.

Agree completely. My nexus 7 had screen lift issues but I didn't care enough to RMA. Maybe I should have, though, because it completely died while charging last week, and now I have no choice but to RMA.

I bought my N4 on 22-3-13.
it is a great device and i tried calibrating the screen before sending it in.
i had a REV11 unit.
anyway my problem was that i was having really yellowish tint on all screen but specially from left lower corner.
but the most annoying were the huge black spots especially on the upper side-center of the screen.
ok i did not worry cause some told me that that was just glue waiting to dry (well that is just BS).
the spots became larger and easier to spot when phone was getting hot( normal hot) and my eys were getting tired by that ( i guess because knowing where it is was making me concentate on that).
so i sent it to LG service here in Greece-Athens explaining the problem and along with the phone i sent a comparison pictire with another N4 of a friend.
their response toward me was " We see nothing. it is perfect. we are sending it back to you"!
lol. i asked them to keep it and contacted the customer protection agency.
2 days later LG calls me and says they are exchanging my motherboard. i asked them why, 2 days earlier you found nothing?
the responded it was the fault for the bad screen.
so they sent it back and guess what, the problem is still there and they sent a REV10 which i δon't minδ that but the previous board was flawless.
so now i am very pissed and will send it back on monday but to conclude, how dumb do you have to be not to exchange the screen and instead chang the MB when it is clearly the fault of that?
P.S: which one you think looks better?
The left one for sure is better

that is my point. they said it is the same. everyone i have asked say the same.
also a third one looks just like the left one. great
Personally, I don't see a problem with either. There will always be minor variations with screens.
If you want to be really picky about things, the left one that's "better" has a blueish hue on the top 1/3rd of the screen. I'd rather take the right one, but that's the point it's all subjective.
It looks like gamma variation. IMO the right one looks better. It looks like it has deeper blacks.

I know there are screen variances with this phone, though many don't believe. My coworkers Nexus 4 scree has washed out colors, whites aren't white, and just plain doesn't look as good as all of the others I've seen.

You'd have to be blind not to admit that.
I just replicated the exact same thing with my friend's N4.
1) Gamma/Saturation can make it look exactly how yours do.
2) Brightness, I've got one set low and one set high and they do the same as what yours do...

Personally seeing issues like this makes me understand why companies lock bootloaders, and try to chase away modders like most on XDA. We are the most pickiest of all cell phone uses. We create problems that don't really exist and brick more phones than anybody else.
Having two phones with two different color tint is perfectly normal it happens all the time with big screen TVs. A manufactured doesn't always use the same supplier to supply a LCD screen Hance the different color tint.
Just get on with your life enjoy the phone and stop looking at a white screen

I was in the cell phone industry for over 10 years and this is a normal variation. Literally it happens all the time you probably might not have noticed if you had not had two phones next to each other. If you had brought that back to my store we would have told you it was normal. If phone manufacturers replaced phones for minor variations they would not be. If you don't like it sell it.

Yellow tint goes away after one week of using the device. Or root it and put your own screen values.

If they did that successfully, your phone would suck bro. The "modders"as you so elegantly put it are the reason things improve. Don't believe me?

Nothing against "modders" as I'm one myself. And I do appreciate the work that some have done on certain devices.

Hey guys, I've just bought my Z 2 weeks ago and have just noticed stuck pixels on my screen. 4 white tiny squares.
Well 3 are tiny, one's a little bigger.
Already played a dead pixel app off on it but they're not responding.
According to guarantee, 1-4 dead/ stuck pixels are no reason for a replacement or fix.
What else can I do to get rid of them? Any idea?
Apparently they disappear by themselves or stay forever:what:
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Are you sure that 1-4 are considered normal? In one of my booklets (titled Important Informations) that came with the Z, it says that up to 2 defective pixels are considered normal, meaning 3 or above are enough to claim warranty. This might depend on the country or carrier maybe, but I think it shouldn't. Could you post a picture of the booklet/warranty where this is written?
Check your warranty booklet and other leaflets that come with the phone. I had 3 dead pixels and read that up to 2 are acceptable so I sent it on warranty.
But if yours says that more dead pixels are allowed then I'm afraid you did what you could by runnig the pixel fixing app.
Although since you say 3 are tiny and one is bigger this one might actually be more than one pixel. It could be a small cluster of dead pixels. I suggest you go to the shop you bought your Z in and ask them to replace it. It won't hurt since the worst that can happen is that they say no.

If it's not dead, you can use pixel fixing app that shows different colours like this or this. You can also find videos on youtube that does same thing like this one or that one (second video is actually better because it's for FullHD displays but shorter, so you will have to repeat it couple times)
Good luck! :fingers-crossed:

Thanks, but I've already mentioned that I've used pixel fix apps, even.had them launched for 1-2 days! 3 have vanished, only the slightly bigger one is still there! And it stands out by miles on a dark screen:banghead::screwy:

I uderstant that sometimes there are some of them with defects, but having defects on the 4 devices I have received...that's not serious at all.
One who was very excited about this device but is thinking about joining Apple, because at least they do not produce deviced with defects at all...

I'd be amazed if samsung and google ever worked together again. I'm still hoping samsung switches to Tizen and it flops
Not the only one
You are not the only one for sure. I also have had some awful luck getting the "perfect" device:
1st: Dust particles in screen and no vibration
2nd: Sporadic working volume rocker and more dust under screen
3rd: More dust under screen then the screen started acting wonky (bad banding)
4th: 2 dead pixels in exact center of screen.
Finally the 5th seems to be alright. No dust issues or dead pixels. Vibration isn't great, but it does work so I am gonna see how this pans out.
I told the service people at Google how frustrated I was at the experience, but they said I can keep exchanging until it works out. I tried to even have them check the device before sending it out, but they can't do that. I also commented that every device was covered in dust on the screen protector and didn't look clean at all. Either way the 5th is ok and hopefully no major issues going forward. I think I might hold off in the future on early purchases though.

I find it very sad from Google that they have sent me 4 devices and all of them have defects in their screen. Not only stucj pixels, but also dust under the screen.
I uderstant that sometimes there are some of them with defects, but having defects on the 4 devices I have received...that's not serious at all.
One who was very excited about this device but is thinking about joining Apple, because at least they do not produce deviced with defects at all...

You must not read any tech news. At all.

Well that's news to me, considering there are many reports of iPhone users with dust under their screen and dust under the camera lens creating obstructed pictures. But hey, if that's how you view them regardless of this readily available info, then maybe an iPhone is a good choice for you.
For the record I'm on my first and only Nexus 5 and no issues here.
It's true. The Quality of the Nexus 5 hardware is bad. So many people are complaining about thw bad quality, you aren't alone.

Weird, I bought 3 of them and all are perfect. And all are launch day phones.

By all means, join Apple if you think/believe their devices are not defected at all. . Enjoy replacing the home button that always craps out on each of their devices they make after a few months of use.
At some point in time you will realize not everything is perfect and flawless. Once you do, you'll finally accept it and get over the idea of a "perfect" device. Oh and before you post anything again, be sure to read your post over again before confirming it. Got a few spelling mistakes.

Yeah, they just have antennagate, battery defects in the 5s and the 5 million+ they sent back to foxconn, coupled with shipping with paint missing on the aluminum rim, and iOS as a whole. Nope no defects there. http://www.macrumors.com/2013/04/22/apple-returns-5-8-million-defective-iphones-to-foxconn/.

Lets see, that covers 3G through 5s.... Just don't hold it wrong and all should be ok.
My problem is that I am studying in the US for a year and my Nexus 5 is in Spain. I am going to Spain for a few weeks for Christmas and I would like to have a good one, without defects, I think it is not hard no understand.
As I said, I can understant some defects, because it is a new device, its price...But I can not stant having to RMA 4 devices and waiting for the 5th because they do not do a good quality check and buy cheap screens to the chineese.
I expect to have a nice one when I get to the US again, because if not I will ask for the refund and will wait for a few months until I come back home...
They're all built in the same factory in china/korea as they like to say. I do understand you're frustration though no one wants such a great phone hindered by defects.
