[Q] POLL: List Of Known Faults - PLEASE VOTE

compact_bijou · Jul 28, 2012

This poll is an attempt to quantify the precise type of known faults found on the Nexus 7

Mods have kindly agreed to make this a sticky.

The hope is that this poll will help newcomers to the forum see immediately that their fault is a known issue and that they are not alone.

If you see anyone posting in the Nexus 7 forums with a fault with their new device please point them to this poll.

Hopefully in a month or two there will be some useful data on the type and frequency of faults.

Accurate figures may help people make a decision as to whether to buy a device and may help with people's warranty claims.

I had to ask a mod to clean up this thread because of the eejit trolls.

Less than three hours later and we have another troll too thick to read the poll and vote accordingly. Or not as the case may be.

PLEASE read this post and the post below BEFORE asking can X be added or why isn't Y an option.

I am unable to add any other options to the poll and I don't want to mither a mod to do it.

The questions are there. If they do not apply to you don't vote, don't ask for the poll to be changed, move on.

If you are having issues with your Nexus7, please indicate what they are by filling out the poll - there is no need for people to comment or start complaining, that's not what this thread is for and there are plenty of other places where you can post to express your unhappiness.

If you're fortunate enough not to be having any problems with your Nexus7 then there's no need for you to get involved with this thread at all.
The poll does not now and never will have a 'None of the above' option because that is not it's intended purpose and because that is not it's purpose, there is no reason for you to post in this thread either.

Is there a way to see the results without distorting the results by voting?

Whilst not perfect, the numbers are indicative that the N7s weak spot is the screen.

This topic made me realize that I didn't check if the headphone jack is working...thanks! :good:

you should probably add improperly calibrated colors

No Problem Option?

I have had my N7 for amost 2 weeks now and am yet to fault with my device, maybe i am lucky (touch wood)?

the poll is missing 2 categories:

- white fog/bleeding
- screen ghosting

after 7 days of very light use (maybe total 2hr surfing) the lcd all the sudden turned white, started flickering and has massive ghosting.

it sometimes gets better a bit after 2-3min of screen-on time, but as soon as the screen is switched off/on again, the white fog reappears.

running stock software.

I just got my Nexus 7 replaced.

The issue I had with it was a battery issue... had a faulty battery.

I have the same problem too. I also have some black slant lines on screen.

I think it's important to add to the OP that before one votes, they should have a couple of days of heavy usage. What I mean by heavy usage is having used it enough to the point where it literally gets hot, not just once but a good number of times. This seems to cause screen lift/looseness rather quickly. I'm on my second Nexus 7, and in 10 days, I already have screen lift and creaks.

Also, does anyone have a link to the newest revisions? Or is C9O still the latest? Maybe we should also create an accurate list.

I have a C80 and been beating mine around for a couple weeks now, including overclocking it (unnecessarily) and playing intense video games. It also has been bumping along in my bicycle pannier. I'm not even sure what you are talking about, is the glass coming out of the metal strip or is the entire metal strip lifting up. My glass is actually slightly below the level of the metal all around and no sign of any movement whatsoever.

On the other hand, my wifi is rather questionable. It has dropped off a few times even when I am close to the router. At other times it seems to be working great, but I don't think it connects to wifi as well as my cell phone.

I was having an issue with auto-brightness. Which I believe is on by default, but I turned off at some point to see how bright/dim the screen would go.

When I turned auto-brightness on again, the screen went completely black (i.e. 0 brightness) even in a fully lit room. This happened a couple of times, so it wasn't just a fluke.

Obviously I thought the screen had turned off so hit the power button to turn the screen back on, but inadvertently locking it. Touch was still fully working, and navigating to the brightness setting without a screen to reset it was _not_ fun.

BurnRubber90 · Oct 5, 2012

I have a C70 Nexus 7, it was working greatly with no issues when i un-boxed it, and continued to do so for a month. Yesterday when i tried to play some videos through the speaker, i realized the speaker had blown out (aka. Crackling speaker). Going to try to talk to support to see what they can do, especially since i'm outside US.

NK0d3R · Oct 11, 2012

Hello. C90 here and a slight but perceivable screen lift on the left. So, no improvement in the quality assurance department in the last few months.

shiva2p · Oct 11, 2012

my nexus blocked in the "oppen apps" menu i tryed to turn it off and i cant... what should i do can anyone help?

Mars2012 · Oct 13, 2012

Thanks for the thread, it helped checking some things. My N7 has none of them, but often (every 20-30 minutes) freezes+restarts, I hope it's just software problem and if I get this list here right then it's most likely is(?)
Or is it a common N7 hardware fault which causes often freeze/restart (mostly with flickering white stripes all over the screen before the restart)? Googled but didn't find many threads related to that, just solutions how to restart.

That's a faulty unit.
