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

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.

its visible on white backgrounds.
im gonna go to store tomorrow and see if I can get a new unit.
UPDATE: I uploaded a pic of it

What store did you buy it from? I seen a lot of complaints about this from folks who purchased at retail stores. Mine was purchase from Google and still waiting on it.

Got it from Sam's club.
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.

I went back to Sam's club and they looked at the device and saw the yellow spots on the screen. It took me 15 minutes to walk out of the door with a new unit.
Let's hope this doesn't happen to anyone.

Not at all!!
The tint appeared after about one hour of using it, and it gets worse when you use it more than that!!!

Nice interior. :thumbup:
Same issue on my second device. Noticing it on bottom left corner and along top edge of screen.
Same with mine

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'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.
Do you think it would be possible to buy and replace the back cover for this device. My dog bit my Nexus 7 and there are some bit marks on the back.
Dunno...any scratches on the screen?
Give it some time but I am sure we will see a couple third party backs. Saw one on eBay already but didn't trust the seller.

You can always get a skin to put on it. I saw some cool looking ones on Amazon or eBay and was going to go that route until I opted for the keyboard case.

Nope the scree is fine. Which is suprising cause he was going at it pretty hard.

I saw a back cover for sale on ebay. I'm sure there's going to be plenty more for sale when the unit is actually released. I'm waiting for a nexus 7 tear down. I also want to know if the plastic rim around the tablet can be replaced as well. I kind of dented it and was wondering if it can be purchased.
That's one way to fix the screen seperation issue.
Parts...

Hello xda I'm wondering who else has screen lift.
I got my nexus about 5 days ago and my friend right when got it checked for screen lift. It was fine then but I recently noticed it keeps getting worse on my right side!! I'm afraid that it is going to get a lot worse and I don't know what to do? Is there anything that I can do to prevent screen lift?

Just look through the nexus 7 general fourm and the QA forum. There is already a ton of threads about this.

I never had screen lift on my first N7. I had bezel sag down the left hand side instead.

Has anyone sent there Nexus 7 back to ASUS because of distorted speakers or screen flicker? My Nexus 7 has both and I was wondering does that meet the warranty requirement? Also how long did it take ASUS to send you your new Nexus 7? I have a Nexus 7 8GB and I purchased it the first week it was released. Thanks in advance.

I sent mine in for the screen fading and the touchscreen acting crazy on me. The issue was resolved rather quickly and the replacement was to me in a couple of days.
Given that screen flickering is a widespread issue, I don't see why they wouldn't replace it for you as long as it isn't physically damaged.
