I can't be the only person who occasionally finds their phone unlocked and doing something it shouldn't be while in their pocket.
I've been trained to keep my screen facing toward my thigh in my front pocket, but it seems that the screen is a bit TOO sensitive if it's managing to trigger a swipe (and open other apps) through my pocket and underwear.
It seems the one feature that I felt like I would REALLY love and may save me some battery is actually ending up triggering my screen and killing it instead.

Yeah this has happen to me a couple times too. It seems to happen more when I generate body heat when walking long distances or at work.
Another similar issue I have is when I'm talking to someone, my phone will wake and listen thinking it heard the touchless control phrase even though I've said nothing similar. Great features, but needs slight tweaking.
I haven't had any of these problems. Do you have a case on it? That could be part of the reason why

Nope. No case or screen protector.
It's been quite warm here though, so maybe that's the issue. I have found it open at the camera once. Odd, as I don't run with a phone in my pocket or anything like that.
Once I put a case on my phone I noticed it was a little harder to use touch less notifications

I had this problem for a day. Once I turned off touchless control, it hasn't happened again.

Haven't had this happen at all. I thought I read that the phone could sense when it was covered up (in a pocket) and wouldn't let the screen notifications come on then.
I have the otter box on it and when I put the phone in my pocket there is no problem. Best bet for you is to get a case

Seeing all the scary "My screen/speaker/mic/entire thing is broke" threads. I thought I might put mine out here.
It's fine. Rock solid 100%. Amazing External Speaker Quality. Plenty good enough for me. The frame is solid, doesn't pop or creak. The USB port, which is my favorite thing, clicks firmly and USB plugs don't wiggle or make me scared XD.
My screen is fine. No ghosting. No dead pixels. The lock and volume buttons are solid.
My ONLY COMPLAINT...Is that the screen lock/unlock sound is extremely quiet no matter what... >.>
I am sure that is just a software thing though.
So...Yeah. I am sure this is the normal amount of defects, just the whole thing is amplified because we are all spazzing and excited. XD
I love my Nexy. :3

That is what my first impression was!
How is your battery life? I got 5 hours of screen time, with 2 days of total running time. That was charging it from 32% to full when I got it. I just got it down to 5% today, and it is finishing now. I am hoping to see at least 7 to 8 hours now.
Hopefully XD
Only thing I find fault with is my compass needs calibrating. Otherwise OK. No serious sound tests yet, but I'm not planning on using it for music. Had a 2 hour skype conversation and it was ok. Same upside down "me" image as my GSII but that is a skype thing.
Played with the Nexus for about 4hrs straight no issues so far to report here either...
With the Camera app from the Market, I was actually impressed at the quality. It is much better than I thought it was.
Mine appears to be fine too.

Very good to hear! Like I said, I'm sure the amount of defects is pretty much the normal amount. We are just hyped and worried more.
Flawless here as well. And to think I told myself I would never buy another ASUS product again after my 201. It's a good thing I decided to call around Saturday and traded in my vita which was collecting dust. Walk in and all guy said he didn't even expect any in because nobody preordered.
Mine appears fine too. No screen issues. Nothing broken. No strange sounds. Etc.
Loving my Nexus 7 right next to my iPad 3, well now girl friends iPad 3. I also ordered from Google play and am fine with the service i received and a 25 gift card is awesome . It all seems perfect to me, now to get a nexus phone. Also I hope yo write so e software for this thing.
Mine is 98% perfect. I really had no issue all day (very heavy use) until just now when I pressed the left corner and tried very hard to listen for a creak. And I heard a small creak. The screen does not seem to be raised, but there's a tiny creak. I am just wondering if it's me paranoid or this will become a bigger problem (is only my first day).

I seem to have a similar issue. Doesn't appear to be raised compared to the bezel, but it does move when I push on it.
Overall, still satisfied - if this issue persists I'll request a replacement.
Here it is! Just got my Nexus 7 but a really bad surprise waited me. As soon as I opened the box, I experienced the "screen separation" issue that a lot of people had. I tried to look on the web for a real permanent fix as Google's supply are not able to bet me an exchange/RMA that would not require to open the back of the device. I had tried to get the screws tighten without success, I also tried to put spacers in between the screws without success also.. :crying:
I read a lot about fixing this issue; one was explaining how to make the CPU/GPU running and generating heat to get the glue to hold the screen and case together. So I was sitting there watching my battery temp going up to 32-35C/90-95F as my meal was in the oven at 190C/375F. Then I got this great idea. I stopped the stress test, put the tablet in power off state and placed it face down on TOP of the hot spot of the oven; in between the two front elements. I put weigh on top of it and waited about 30-40 min. After that period, I started "Stability Test" available on the Play Store to get the battery temp that was around 47C/115F. I stopped the oven and let it sit for the night face down with weigh on top of it to cool it off. Next morning, surprise! The screen was finally glued. I had no screen seperation since then. It's now being my 5th day without any problem.
Conclusion : FIXED !! :laugh:
Let me know if that worked for you as well !
A heat gun would probably be easier and safer, glad it worked though.

Interesting idea, hadn't heard that one before. Of course, different stoves will have different hot spots from the oven, so YMMV. How much weight did you put on top of it? Also, do you happen to have a way of measuring how hot the spot gets?
I'd be interested to see if this is a truly permanent solution or if the adhesive starts to break down again after a few weeks or months.

I placed my hand over and touched it.. If the "hot spot" was couple of degres higher, I wouldn't be able to let my hand sit there.. I was at the limit.. For the weight, I used casino's pot full of change.. 2x 8 pounds..

Good to know. Different people seem to have different thresholds for heat (for instance, I remember as a kid I couldn't keep my hands under the same water my mom used to wash dishes), but the spot on my stove doesn't seem to run as hot as you described, so I'd be willing to try it if I run into this issue on my replacement.
All in all, though, I like this idea a lot. There's always a risk, but I'm sure the devices are stress tested with the CPU running at temps hotter than you could reproduce using this method (short of actually putting it inside the oven). As long as you can hold your hand on the spot without it getting too unbearable, I would think it's pretty safe to try.

shocking discovery- missing screws in nexus 7
Long story short:
1st device from best buy : scar like dead pixels, exchanged for second
2nd device from best buy: loose screen/ seperation
Got 3rd device from staples hoping it is better, noticed screen noticeably yellower, minimal seperation problem.
At my last resort, opened up the 2nd and 3rd device, found 3 screws missing from the right side when faced down(or left when screen is up). While the 3rd device is missing one,
. I am so shocked this is happening....no wonder my screen is so loose.
I m a first timer with android device. Own an iphone . Gotta say jelly bean and even the nexus 7 itself is spectacular. But what is with Asus? Have google picked the wrong partner. Or is it is pure poor quality control. Unbelievable.

Okay, so just to make sure what you people do:
1. Heat up the oven
2. Find the hotspot
3. Switch oven off, wait until hot to touch (that'd be a bit over 60C)
4. Switch unit off
5. Put the unit on the hot spot with about 16 pounds (8 kilos) of pressure on top (really?)
6. Wait until it has cooled down naturally
Am I missing anything? How has the fix held for you so far after a month or more?
Thanks, :cyclops:
Did not work for me.
I heated the device to 80C with a hairdryer, then pressed it with clamps (force equal to about 9kg) for about 7 hours.
Separation came back about 1 hour after I released the clamps without turning the device on.
Too bad, as I have no way to exchange it.
I guess I'll just use the case.
5 minute epoxy (or any glue one's comfortable with) is the way to go. The problem is obvious once the bevel is removed - the glue on the left side on my device had cured without holding the glass. Hard to believe heating and pressing would work at all.

I'm forever fumbling around to find it.
I fumble and fumble, then think I must have the phone upside down and fumble some more only to realize I've now turned it up side down.
I thought I'd get used to it.
Not to mention I seem to be getting bits of pocket crap in between the button and the phone.
On my HTC EVO LTE the phone used to come on if I stooped down (I keep it in my fron jeans pocket) and I made little guards for the button to stop it.
Now think I'll have to glue on a bump on to the button or something.
It would be nice if they put a dimple or raised it slightly. So you could positively find it by feel every time.

I have same problem as OP. I have an Incipio case that has a cut out for the power/IR blaster. It also has a cut out on the bottom for the micro usb charger, which is almost the same exact size. I too have flipped the phone over several times. I may have to get the Mophie just for the simple fact that it has a raised power button.

Not sure if I understand right but you could do what I do and stop using the power button. What I do is rooted with bulletproof kernel I use the double tap the bottom of the screen to turn it on and then I can either swipe the back+home button to turn the phone off or use a widget called screen off on my desktop (usually do this since its more convenient). This works perfectly and is much easier than the akward power button

A good design everyone WILL naturally get used to. A poor design won't.
If my car pulls to the left and I can't get used to it, does that make it my fault !!! That's what your saying.
Looks like I'm not the only one having issue with it, so it is a the "Phones Fault".
Like I said a tiny dimple on the power button or similar so you can find it with frozen fingers in the dark. Would go a long way.
Small cues that help you have the phone oriented correctly would go a long way.
Weight, Texture, Dimples make the difference.

I, for one, love the power button. Never once thought the button was hard to find or hard to press. I also love the tactile feel of this power button after having used a GNex, which I hated the power button placement - too easy to press accidentally.
Hi all, quick question. If I root my nook hd, will my magnet case stop working? And by that I mean how it turns on when I open and off when I shut the case. Thanks!
It will still work fine with just a root. If you install a CM Rom then it will still work with a little hitch: sometimes opening the cover won't turn the screen on, so close it and open it again and it will then come on. It's a bug in every CM and CM based Rom. Not a big deal, really.

It's not a usability issue though, is annoying at most sometimes but it never amounts to a feeling that I can never enjoy my tablet or feel as if a case with a cover is the worst creation for this device.

I have lost over 20 lbs just from lifting my Nook HD cover 2 times every time I want to use it. My just think if I lifted 4 times each time.
Just kidding, it would be nice if it was that easy.
I just bought a magnetic cover & using CM 10.2 and I don't seem to have that minor issue about having to open & close the cover.
Ok if I may ask a very simple & probably stupid question, how does the magnet make the tablet go into sleep mode or whatever it does?
Thank you,
Mark :silly:
I can't say I've had the problem of the device not waking up when I open the cover (Poetic slimline). If this would happen I just put my thumb on "n" or a finger on the power button, as I would if I didn't have a magnetic cover or when it shuts down with the cover opened.
If that's an annoyance, just go back to stock and problem is solved!

That's odd! Wonder why it works for me. Could it be the builds? I always use Succulent's builds (or builds he present on his Iamafanof site)..
Do you have a link to his site?

It may be worth checking if your magnet is actually present and "strong enough."
For my Nook HD+, I have a third party cover which has a working magnet.
I recently bought an official B&N cover for the HD+ and it doesn't work at all (stock ROM).
Check ebay, i found genuine b&n magnetic case for 7 bucks there. New and in box, free shipping. There were several sellers had them and many cheap. Got mine auction on third try only bidder... There were so many listed it was quite easy to snag one.
And i am on cm 10.2 and it works just fine.
So this is just a inquiry. I keep my phone in my back pocket. Left side.
I'm curious as to see who keeps their phone behind them. Or if they use the front, or holsters.
Reason why I'm asking will be told after.

I keep in front pocket on shirt. So I would know where it is at all times without the worry of damaging it.
Front pocket

I prefer mine in my front pocket, right side (i keep pens,pencils, and markers for work in my left) and i prefer the screen facing my leg so that it lays more flat. I move around too much to keep it in the back
I always use a holster. Frees up a fair bit of pocket space.
Front pocket or (sometimes) front shirt pocket if I am wearing such a shirt...
Front left.

Front right.
Well dang. Seems like everyone uses the fronts. I've kept my phone in my back pocket for the past 3 years. And now I'm trying to make the change back. Mainly because I took my phone out an placed it face down so my screen doesn't flash it's active screen. And I noticed the phone teetered on opposite corners. Basically my phone twisted.
Yeah front right for me too. I've seen FAR too many phones that have had their screens broken from being in back pockets to ever put it in my back pocket.
I hadn't really considered phones bending or deforming from it until the iPhone 6 Plus, but that's another good reason. It is certainly possible with any phone, but especially larger phones with aluminum frames.

Have laid your phone face down to see if it lies flat?
Back left with screen facing inwards since the day I got it. No deformation on this phone or any other phone I've had and carried like this. I do my best not to sit down on it, however.
