Second chance to Nexus 7

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

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

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

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

Samsung's approach: Pack as many gimmicky features into crappy feeling hardware and crappy looking ui. yuck! Could they make the phone look anymore cheaper. And that touchwiz ui... WOW does it look crappy.

agreed. It looks like a good phone with some cool features. I like my phone better, but this is probably going to be great for all of those sgs2 users that are about to come off contract.

Mainly camera functions. Maybe Samsung should focus more of their energy into camera.

Happens in every forum. Everybody loves the phone they have and will defend it ruthlessly. When another, newer phone comes out people bash it. Just how it is. The sgs4 is a nice phone. Its not a let down or disappointment. Its just not a nexus. Nexus gets first updates and amazing development. That's what matters to me the most.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

After the nightmare of dealing with Samsung and ODIN I vowed NEVER to own a Samsung Phone again. SGS4 looks like more of the same as the SGS3 and as someone called it the SGS3s That is exactly Samsung's strategy. They are copying Apple even more in this regard. They will keep the SGS3 going for another year as the more "Affordable" SGS like they were doing with the SGS2 recently. Notice all the Deep discounts for the SGS3 lately? I can't wait to get my self all on the Nexus Line (as well as my Wife). Tired of all these bad Custom UIs and Carrier Hostage crises.

saw the live event. Its nothing revolutionary as Galaxy S3 was. Most of event focused on gimmick features. It has some cool features but nothing wowed me .

Samsung hit the nail by putting ipad 4 powervr 533mhz oc gpu and octo core on international s4 . the us version has adreno gpu same as nexus 4.This will smoked any mobile devices until tegra 4 and qualcomm 800 released.
you all know which one i am getting.

Moto Nexus 5 is coming

Well guys how do you feel about it I was hoping either HTC or moto got it this year. With that said I really do love the nexus 4 design I just hope the next nexus wows me. But I also loved the galaxy nexus too.

Afraid of what CPU they'd put in it. If its Qualcomm, there might be problems with it being open with the Nexus 7 2013 fiasco with JBQ leaving AOSP etc.

I would think either a snap 800 or something like the moto x and the features become standard android in key lime. The funny thing is I hated leaving amoled now I dread going back.

Thats the thing, I want a Snapdragon 800 but I don't want it if the factory images aren't going to be released as well as the GPU drivers. Thats the reason why Nexus 7 still doesn't have factory images available (or binaries).
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...om-ever-being-published-jbq-strongly-implies/
Its not a true Nexus device if those files are missing. Yeah... I really do like the IPS screen. I think they're going back to Super AMOLED if its amde by Motorola. Its a bummer that LG G2 isn't the base of the Nexus 5. LG screens are amazing.
Maybe a LG G2 Google Play Edition inbound?

I think I see what Google is doing the moto x will probably be almost free on contract by the time nexus 5 is out and new nexus will probably be rock solid design and since everyone is fine paying 600 dollars for Google play editions phones new nexus will probably be 499 or 450

No I want the LG nexus. Really liked LG G2 specs

Title of this thread is wrong. If Motorola is making a Nexus phone it would be based on their 4 inch screens thus it would be the new Nexus 4 (not Nexus 5). I could see LG making a Nexus 5 based on the G2 and perhaps Motorola making a Nexus 4 based on the Moto X.

Me too. There must be some prototypes already since there ain't so many months left for the proposed release. They can't just make up something in short period of time.
My money is on Motorola, sadly. They have now that thing going on with their manufacturing plants and everything so logistics and all would be so much easier in US.
Still, LG with G2 specs would have been much better choice.

Um no? The nexus device is usually a international unlocked phone so their factory is strictly for the moto x since it is a us exclusive plus it cost more to make it here so the phone should cost more. The lg G2 is nice but it's not all about specs

No way we get two nexus phones and that doesn't make sense one phone to lead the direction of android. Seeing the moto x features and key lime pie around the way I this all makes sense. Now what probably will still do is sell the nexus 4 from lg and maybe 250 for a 16gb. Its not like nexus specs are even dated yet.

LG Nexus 5 is a comin

OK so looks like LG and Google are at it again. I don't even care at this point, either a Moto nexus for probably more money or LG at same price point. Most likely it is LG at this point and we lose the snap 800 in g2 but get the rest.

This is just a made up report based on zero facts. Just like the Moto Nexus rumor. Until there is some real insider information, I wouldn't pay any attention to these rumors.

The thing about a "rumor" is anyone can say whatever they want and claim no responsibility if they are wrong. Being there are about 5 different "next" nexus rumors in this forum, most of these are just brain children of their authors.
Personally, I take everything with a spoonful of salt until Google announces the device.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 4

Sounds familiar...

The G2 is to big
I like how much space is covered by the screen, but the overall size of the phone is to huge in my opinion. Maybe better a 5" screen?
Everything else sounds great for the same price of the N4. But 32GB would be nice.
Buttons on the side are a must. Those back Button are strange.

Isn't there a thread already talking about LG and the rumors about the Nexus 5? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2396728

The Atrix was released about 2 months after the Optimus 2X. I actually had an O2X, worst phone I ever had. ****ty software support as well, took LG well over a year to release ICS, and even then, it was buggy as sh*t etc. Hardware was decent though :laugh:

I'd rather have Motorola get a chance to build a Nexus phone with the Moto X design.

At least they release it, moto abandoned us

IMO Moto X design and size is great, but unfortunately everything else is dissapointment. I would like to see next Nexus will have similar design to Moto X, but better CPU (Snapdragon 600 or 800), and better body materials (Kevlar instead on Moto X's plastic).
