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!

Mine is perfect. No screen issues and device came new in flawless condition.

Works beautifully for me. Problem free!
My only problem is that I can't put it down and my ipad has started getting dusty since I got my N7 on Tuesday!

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.

Works amazing for , dont hesitate.
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.

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
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.

Good! I am definitely not a crapple fan. Had the money to buy an ipad and I've owned an iPhone years ago but with them going on a suing spree just to be assholes its kinda pissed me off.

No problems to report here. I've only had it since yesterday though. Feels very solid, screen looks great. Only thing that is bugging me is it seems to charge extremely slowly.

True for all kinds of things. People who feel like they got screwed are more likely to speak up.
I'm actually surprised at battery life too. I'm on cyanogen so can't compare to stock but I keep at full brightness and its great for me. Of course I've never owned tab so maybe that's normal
From the Note to Nexus 7
Haven't had any problems with mine yet.
Mines perfect as well. The person above me who mentioned that people don't make as much noise about a perfect tablet really hit the nail on the head. It's a fact of life on the forums. Often times a developer builds a perfect rom as far as custom development goes, and many of the pages of the rom thread are cluttered with complaints. It's often time user error but they don't realize it at first. Especially early on, because people are enjoying the product and taking the time to say "I don't have any problems" isn't a priority.
We also seem to have the problem of people getting told they should have problems so they look way too hard for something. Let me be clear though I know there are tablets that have problems and most people have legitimate claims, it's just the percentage of problems that disproportionate to the real world.

You are definitely not the only one without problems.
The reason it may seem like everyone's Nexus are all defected is that people only complain who there is a problem. How often do you see threads like "All is fine with my Nexus folks!" lol
For what it's worth, mine doesn't have any problems so far.

Getting the nexus 7 on my next paycheck and was wondering if there are any issues that I should know about ? Will it do a lot of the tasks done by a laptop ? Smooth os? How is the availability of ROMs ?

pretty much all your questions can be answered by just browsing the forums
You should know that it is a great device! Use it much more than my phone and computer now.

Check the speakers, screen lifting, and colors.
Some reports have been suggested that their speakers have blown after watching a movie at full blast. Some have issues with the screen being spongy or coming up from the case. Others say the screens aren't calibrated equally so some are warmer and duller then others.
Mine was fine but the colors were warm compared to other devices. Whites looked a little pinkish. We'll see when I get a replacement from where I killed mine.

:good: and I even like it with 4.2!
I love mine too! 4.2 not so much until Devs catch up and we have Recoveries that play nice with it. It also broke ability to use USB storage devices with it. I got it from playstore when it came out. It arrived the 2nd day after. 1st thing was unlock and root. Ran stock 4.1.2 until I put on a custom 4.2 (plain vanilla )rom. I previously had Galaxy Tab 7.0+. Very expensive and I thought I was getting the best. It was OK, but my 32Gb N7 beats it six ways from Sunday in smoothness, reliability. Also the GT7 had a proprietary charge and data port/cable. It was USB but you needed a converter cable for lots of stuff. The N7 is great out of the box but awesome!! when unlocked, rooted and rom'ed. Everything just seems to work better. Movies, music, email, calendar, notes, to do's games, You name it. Now if I could just make calls on it...oh, wait, with Google (Voice?) you can I am told!
Problem with 4.2 is it messed up the sd card file partitions so that I can no longer make Nandroid back-ups. I sure it will be fixed in a few days. Meanwhile, I am enjoying the crap out of this thing.
Loved it since I bought it. Eyeing the N73G for the holidays, then the Mrs. Gets the 16.

I feel exactly the same, not perfect but it's by far the most practical gadget I've ever owned. The iPad and S3 hadly get a look in these days.

Loving my nexus 7 as well. As a apple fanboy the nexus really has impressed me. The only thing I don't love about the nexus (android problem i guess) is that none of the browsers can compare to the Safari-browser found in the ios echo system. Sluggish scrolling, accidently clicking links when scrolling never happens to me on my ipad or iphone. Google, tweak the chrome-browser and my apple fanboy days might be over.
As of this week, there's a creaking sound on my upper left side (of course, where else..)
Anyone else had similar luck? Was pretty happy with it up till now, well actually I'm mostly still happy with it.
I just assume I need to buy a new screen protector now if I RMA it right? Or do they give the same device back?
And does anyone know how the RMA process works if you bought from an Australian retailer?

They send the same device back if it is fixable but it might have a new screen on it

I used to claim i got a CBOK with no problem at all. Last 2 days the screnn lift appear. How did i notice it? I just got paranoid about problems on my N7. But now i realize that this thing is so tiny that its no a problemt at all. I will no brother myself because that kind of stuff. Love my n7.

Well I didn't care about my lift but now it creaks lol
But flawless apart from the screen issue, I've never had a problem with much flicker or speaker issues, only on 4.1, but 4.1.2 fixed for me.

I was offered a trade for a 32gb Nexus 5 for my Note 3. I was wondering if anyone is also considering this. I am stuck between the two. The only thing thats keeping me from doing the trade is that the battery is awful on the Nexus 5. Just wanted some opinions on this. Thanks
Nope. U getting some extra cash (I mean 399 vs 650) cause straight trade doesn't make sense, might as well sell the note and buy a new nexus
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
Yea..uh..Nexus 5 is a cheaper phone. No way
sEnt from thE noTe 3
Definitely not worth the trade... If you wanted to you can just buy one used in a month for probably less than 300 and have both phones
agree with everyone here. just read all the reviews on both everywhere if you're still unsure. note 3 is still the best phone on the market. i was in your shoes too deliberating between the two and picked the note 3; very glad i did.
I'm sold on the Nexus 5 after I persuaded my coworker to get one, but I wouldn't even consider trading my note 3 for it.
The truth is I'm having some awful luck with my note. I'm on my 2cd device and I can't seem to stay connected to a wifi network. Plus the home button on both went from perfectly pushable to a sunk in button I have to mash with my fingernail. Sammy definitely didn't hit a home run as far as build quality imho.

The Nexus 5 looks like a fine phone for the price. But my Note 3 has worked flawlessly, and I'm happy to pay more for the bigger, higher-res phone.

That's weird, I've had zero wifi issues. I'm using the 5ghz channel of my buffalo ac router. I also tested the 2.4ghz and no issues.
This thread is all kinds of wrong. First the Note 3 is worth a considerable amount more than a Nexus 5. Second, this phone beats it in some important categories including screen, battery life and features.
And last but not least, stock Android blows. Especially the latest version with those big and ugly icons. Stock Android is super boring to me and too light on features.
Just my opinion but don't do it.

Even with the bloat I think the Note 3 is far superior to any of Nexus devices. I even think the S4 is as well.

Battery life on the Nexus 5 compared to the Note 3, is night and day. The N5 can't even last a day, not even close.
And I still love the deep Plasma blacks, and vibrant colors of AMOLED screens, I've seen the N5 in store, and it looks washed out in comparison.
Plus more RAM on the Note 3.

Making a phone with that small of a battery is like putting a 3 gallon gas tank on a car...almost not usable. 3,500-4,000 mah should be the standard on phones these days. You would be very disappointed with the trade.
Note 3 -- Tapatalk version [HORRIBLE.1x]
Erica Griffin from YouTube did a mini review of the Nexus 5 and she was only about 3:30 uptime, 2:20 screen time and she was at 26% battery. It's a joke and even she was saying the same pretty much.
If you are a moderate to heavy user in any way, why would you even consider the Nexus 5?

I just returned my nexus 5 today. It's hard to use anything with a non amoled screen after you have used a phone with an amoled screen.
The nexus 5 camera was also horrible.
Sad part is, I bought the nexus 5 and gave my wife my note 3 and now she won't give it back, so it's back to the sgs4 for me
