[PCWorld] Google Nexus 7 Display Problems Reported

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter

Here's a rundown of what users have been saying.

Venture Beat's Devindra Hardawar says that at times the device's touchscreen doesn't register inputs while performing data-intensive operations such as updating several apps simultaneously or syncing the tablet with several apps from a phone.

And Ryan Whitwam at Geek.com reports that touch response consistently fails on parts of the screen when playing graphics-intensive games on the Nexus 7. To fix the issue, he recommends turning the screen off and then back on.

While these issues may be solved with a future software update, some people are reporting hardware issues with the Nexus 7 display, as well.

PocketNow posted images of a Nexus 7 with a backlight bleeding issue. And AndroidAuthority reports that the displays on some units aren’t properly screwed in, causing them to come out of the tablet's plastic bezel and creak when touched.

Still a great tab, and will def pick up on the cheap.

I don't think you'd want one if it had the glass issue that was reported. I have a N7 and it has that problem and it is annoying as hell to feel the edge of glass of your new device and have some of the worst customer service from Google. I had to wait 40 minutes on hold just to speak to a human being. And I reordered the new device at their instruction and have gotten nothing saying my device shipped with express shipping as the operator on the phone had told me.

If I don't hear something by mid next week I'm telling them to cancel my order and sending back the one with the issue.

I never had horrible quality from ASUS until now and my iPad was flawless from day one. Really making me reconsider getting another N7. Just seems like the quality control isn't all there. Seems like they're more focused on shipping units than making sure that customers get a device that is in good shape from the get-go.

This is why I never buy a product at launch. Simply not worth the risk.

I'm shocked to see ASUS having such problem with tablets. They have plenty of experience with their Transformer for instance. I really want a N7 but I guess I'm glad I held off and will wait another month or two to see how the next batch goes.

Sounds almost like they didn't have enough to fill the demand the tablet got at launch so they rushed production of some new batches and caused some QA issues in the process.
