Who has a loose bezel ? - Asus Transformer TF701

I have a loose bezel on the left side of the tablet, right where the audio jack is. So it makes a clicking noise.
Who also has this problem. Seems to be a common thing for the transformer line.
and who knows a fix???

Mine is loose up by the volume rocker not really loose, but it makes a creaking noise/click when squeezed....a fix would be welcomed.

Mine was by the volume rocker. After some thumb & index finger presses it snapped back in for me

its not really a deal breaker, as it doesnt break any essential hardware. so i can look past it when i get a case

I hear you, it still pisses me off that a 500 dollar tablet has these issues though. Going to exchange it tomorrow.

its a common issue for the transformer line, just a matter of how serious it is, mine is fairly minimal but it's there

It's not common. That's quality control. Or lack thereof... I would exchange it. Fortunately, I didn't have any issues.

I have my third one (due to the dock connection problems) but on all three I never had any build quality issues regarding the tablet itself. All 3 were perfect.

3rd one...
I'm on my third one, each tablet got bezel issue at different places. It seems to develop over time. I will wait a couple of month and pray to get another batch that is not 2013-11.
Really poor quality check Asus!

Me too...
Yes, the dreaded click of a loose bezel came to our family. We have two tf701's, and they both click when I press the lower right edge. Oh well... everything else seems to be working fine... for now.

The sad state of my Nexus 7 screen...

Really disappointed - when I turned on my Nexus 7 today, I found a line of dead pixels. Immediately called customer support and they said try to reset the tablet to see if it's a firmware issue, but it still persists. Will be sending my tablet in pretty soon to have this fixed, unless you guys have any recommendations.
While this might make it sound like I'm ragging on the manufacturing, I actually love the tablet. It's extremely well built - feels great in hand, has the right heft, but is still light and extremely rigid. If any of you are on the fence about this tablet, you shouldn't. It's hands down the best deal that's out there.

That sucks really bad. If I receive my device and anything is wrong with it, I'll probably die. I hate when my devices aren't perfect. Also, like the last poster said, is it a pre-production unit?

Not Gorilla glass, Scratch resistant Corning class. Though I don't know the difference. I know my G2 was stated to have Scratch resistant corning glass and it never got a scratch in almost 2 years now.

You're definitely right. However most stuck pixels are of a color variety, dead pixels are usually just that and are completely black. If its truly dead, it will stay blacked out regardless of any action.
I am surprised though that a line like that took that long to emerge or die off, I'd have expected them to die off in production or qa. I'm curious if the op dropped or even bumped the tab at some point.
Anyway I hope the RMA process isn't too long and that u get ur tab back soon.

Yup. So I called ASUS and they can't even issue me an RMA because the tablet hasn't be officially released yet. I'm gonna contact Google tomorrow to see if they might be able to replace the tablet for me, really hope that's possible.

You probably won't be able to get another IO model.
Based on the teardown video u can just swap the backing if they let you keep your current model until you get the replacement.

Sorry to hear about the dead pixels. Have you tried any of the "dead pixel fixer" apps? Such as Display Tester
Screen size of galaxy nexus vs nexus 7.
I made this diagram for another thread on here.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
By the look of the picture, the pixels on the LCD itself might not be dead. It could be the LCD driving controller, or one of the electrical connectors have failed since all pixels are connected in rows on the X-Y plane. The electrical connection on that particular row may have failed, so you see a complete row of dead pixels.
There were screen quality issues with the transformer prime and the tranformer when they were released. I was hoping ASUS got their QC figured out by now or Google made them have a higher threshold during QC for holding them back. I am hoping I don't need to go through 3 of these like I did with my prime due to screen issues like stuck pixels, dust under the screen or white spots.
My IO N7 screen started to separate from the bezel on the left side and the white back started discoloring into blue/black.
I hope the production units are build better.

If it makes anyone feel better. My Nexus seems 100% alright

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.

Onto my 5th N7...

First was from Sam's club.had the touchscreen deadspots, so it went back
Second was from the play store.same touchscreen problem. Rmaed it.
Third was perfect, except for significant light bleed in the lower left corner. Rma.
Fourth came today...and the screen is sticking up over the bezel on the left side!

Wow, hopefully the next one won't have the lifted display. However, if it has a dead pixel I'd call it a day and settle with it and hope nothing else crops up. I've learned with these products that you will NEVER get a "perfect unit" just one that's "good enough". Then again, with the defects like dead touchscreen spots and lifted displays these are clearly manufacturing and part issues that should be fixed.
Good luck.
I really wanted to buy one of these tablets, but hearing stories like yours is keeping me from moving forward. I'm continuing to monitor these forums to see if it improves, however, I'm losing faith and considering getting a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7-inch tablet instead. I hope you get a functional one soon. Good Luck!

Don't lose too much faith in the Nexus 7. It's not unusual for new products to have hardware issues on the first batch. Look at Apple's track record, I bought a launch date Intel Macbook Pro expecting a solid device. However, I was greeted with a machine that was riddled with issues. I say buy a Nexus 7 now from a retailer nearby if you can. That way if you do end up with a flawed device you can always return it to them within their return period. I've had mine since early last month and have no issues with mine.
I'm onto my third coming tomorrow. if this doesn't work out I will refund it and get the yes wait for it - iPad Mini! Hate on!
I got my third today and it's the worst one so far. I probably need to sleep on it before deciding what to do next. I'm not too happy with Google or ASUS right now though.
That's really unfortunate man. I'd say keep on trying, but thats easy for me to say. Ive been lucky enough to get a good unit n the first go round.

If this were just any old Android tablet, I'd agree. I did the same with the Transformer Prime--too many issues, too many replacements, and I finally gave up and got a refund directly from ASUS.
However, this is the only Nexus tablet, i.e., the only one that will get immediate updates directly from Google. That's worth its weight in gold. It's also going to be a great development device for people who are into that sort of thing.
It's a pain in the **** to go through all these gyrations to get a decent unit, but in this case I think it makes more sense than it would otherwise.
After reading all these replies, it honestly makes me feel bad that mine was near perfect on delivery.
The only problem I had was that there were too little scratches on the outer rim.

That's what they want you to do.
Really, any problems are small-fry. I have 2 units, and 2 have gone to relatives, and they are all perfect. Mine was a UK pre-order, the others shortly after launch,
Mine has a really slight screen lift, but you would have to look real close, and it really doesn't bother me, it's a high spec entry level device.
This is how Asus operates. If you enjoy the Prime despite its Asus inspired defects, keep it and enjoy it. If you insist on a well built device, wait for a non Asus Nexus tablet.

Could be the mold on the bezel if looking at the device from the top down.
But my replacement has two marks on the bezel as well. Looking at the screen, left side. About 3/4" from top, and bottom.
To me, it looks like they've taken it back apart to correct the screen lift issue.
I am on my first Device and have no problems with it.
Guess its just luck at the moment.

Htc One build quality

Hello,
Been following this thread for a couple months now, almost bought the xz, but seeing both took their sweet time to launch and one's finally available...
So just returned from a mall, seen it in 2 stores, live.
It looks really nice just as pictured by everybody in these forums. The screen looks amazing, very sharp, cannot compare to anything else. Sound thru loudspeakers best I heard in a phone.
However..
The built quality seemed to lack.. Alot.
The metal parts didn't seem to be aligned properly to the point where visually they were protruding out; the corners felt rugged, especially where the metal will stick out. There were minor gaps, albeit too visible on both models.
Now, surely I have heard about these possible issues. Wasn't too worried before as consider myself less picky about things in general. But after seeing the store model, I am a little worried. I know I get to bring it back if not happy my question is how the store demo version compares to the actual thing? Aren't the demo units supposed to be better, at least in build quality? One thing I am sure of, will carefully inspect it in store.
As an aside, all my phones past 10 years bought online: I wouldn't take the same chance with one whatever return policy.

I had a few issues with build quality on my first few handsets , rough edges etc and then on my last one (which didn't suffer from the capptive button problem) I decided to just take care of the rough edges myself and used a bit of 2000 wet and dry sand paper on the polished edges and white band, now have a perfect handset

Pixel issues are going to increase as pixel density has more than doubled over the last few years. No way around it. We also need to remember that it is in no way HTC fault and that every single phone manufacturer has similar failure rates.
From what a fair few people on here have said, the most recent builds are fixing these issues.
I myself have a model with very minor build quality issues but it's not enough to make me want to get a replacement or switch to another phone.
The phones so good that these minor issues can be overlooked, by me at least.

Checked a little bit on the issues I seen or heard of before, mechanically it's almost perfect, alignment and all, no dead or stuck pixels, call quality seems alright, sound recording and playback.
The only issue if I may say so, on maximum volume there's a bit of distortion on loudspeakers.
I will get to play more with it this weekend, can hardly wait, but so far it seems like a nice replacement for my sgs2.

Different nexus 5 hardware

Hi, due to several defects, many have chosen to send back the nexus 5 to receive a new one. infa89, a member of an Italian forum, had the following defects:
dancers and noisy buttons
SIM tray protruding
"cutting edge" display frame.
Comparing the old with the new phone, he noticed several differences, as you can see in the picture.
The new one has none of the above defects, it has
fixed buttons
larger microphone and speaker holes
more yellow display
green stuck pixels.
Someone else has noticed differences between his nexus and replaced one?
Mine has the small speaker holes, I bet that's why it buzzes through the whole phone.
Goddammit, now my phone feels second rate! :crying:
:laugh:
You know just yesterday I was looking at the speaker holes thinking they are probably too small to let the sound out easily.
RMA? Because of buzzy sound?
Edit...Yeah my buttons are fine too, and it's a 311
Oddly I have the tight fitting buttons, but the speaker/mic grille look to be the smaller ones.
I have a 311k btw

But now its working fine...
Only thing I noticed as far as defects is slight light bleeding on the edge of the screen in the corner. But I'm not anal enough to care...its only noticabke when the screen is black at night...

I have no evidence to back this, but the couple I've seen from carriers all seem to be defect free while the ones from Google play seem to have issues. Esp the white ones. Just throwing out a random thought

I got a black 16gb from rogers only it has is the rattling buttons wich is no big deal
310K or 311K only indicates the build date. HW Revisions is more important!

Oddly I have the tight fitting buttons, but the speaker/mic grille look to be the smaller ones.
I have a 311k btw

However it might be, that we are the "lucky" ones with small speaker holes and the "tightest loose" buttons maybe..?

OMG, i love this joke.
I'm not even kidding. It has been a running gag for months in my environment.
But back to the topic:
It wouldn't be surprised by updated "outer hardware" as the Nexus 4 also got updated with these "gummish-spike-thingies" on its back against slipping.
