Screen defects - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I recently purchased a n7 and upon opening the box I noticed the issues with the bevel on the glass. The screen seems to be operating properly so it seems to be mostly aesthetic, but I'm was curious if this defect with the glass was common and I should hold onto this otherwise fine device or if this is fair uncommon and I should take advantage of the return policy.

80+ views and not a single nexus 7 owner can confirm or deny the presence of defects on their personal devices. Thanks for the input guys.

Is this comment necessary? This isn't a very busy forum so sometimes it can take a while for questions to get answered.
That said, my N7 doesn't have this problem. I am the type of guy who will keep exchanging a device until I get one that's flawless. If I were in your situation that's exactly what I would do.

Maybe it's some refurbished model with changed screen or something, but it's definitely uncommon issue.

Found writing on the back of my LCD /mildlyinteresting

Shattered my One X's screen a while back and finally built up enough courage to replace it myself. When I took out the old LCD there's handwritten notes on the back, I'm assuming they didn't do this for all of them, so thought it was mildly interesting enough to post here.

It's chinese for "You got rickrolled" HAHAHA
They do this on production lines all the time. QC marker pens stuff. Some supervisors use the back of components (that customers will never see) to do quick mathematical sums.
I had writing on it, too. I can make a photo tomorrow

The dude who designed the Honda cbr fireblade used to (very occasionaly) sign his name and write things like "happy bikin!" behind the fairing of a random few on the line. A kind of Easter egg I suppose.
Happens all the time, search wiki for 'easter egg'. Though yours is probably just QC scribbles.

BG-7 keyboard

I noticed this beaty of a keyboard for the Nexus 2012. I was on the brink of buying a nexus12 but I reconsidered and I'll wait for the N13 bext month (damn being dutch).
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows if this keyboard will be available for the N13 anytime soon. I like the fact it serves as cover aswell, and the design matches the Nexus perfectly. Not to mention great pricing.
I know what you're talking about but pics or a link would help your cause. Also contacting the manufacture would probably help (if you can find them).

They're available in only a few webstores and they don't inform about the manufacturer. Here's a pic.

Yeah, I have this case. Definitely wont snap in to the new n7. It still pairs no problem.
It wont stand in portrait, you have to turn it over(usb port doesnt let it sit right on the bottom) and it wont sit landscape as it's too long by maybe 1/4 inch.

Screen issues on galaxy s3

Hello all!
I've had my s3 for 2 years now and about a week ago, I noticed that the screen has horizontal lines and the overall quality of the display is poor and fuzzy to where you cannot read text. If the background has black in it, it will show up with a green tint. If I don't turn on the display for a while, it will correct itself for a few seconds then the issue will start halfway up the screen and work it's way to the top. I took it to sprint to have a tech look at it, but he just dismissed me and told me I must have dropped it (I haven't ) and said I'll need to go through insurance..I've managed to take a picture of the issue to show the difference. If anyone knows of a fix that doesn't require a whole new display, I would be very grateful! Thank y'all

Is this backlight bleed, and can it be fixed?

Hi everyone,
The blue streaks have actually been there a few weeks now, but the red one just appeared. Can something like this be fixed; aside from lcd replacement?
Thank you

Okay perhaps not backlight bleed, more like stuck pixels. I've run the various stuck pixel tools for a couple days now, to no avail. Guess I just have to put up with it. Cheapest replacement lcd I've found is $40.
Has no one else experienced this with their Nexus 7?
Nope, looks like a damaged lcd. I expect there has been pressure applied to it or something. My best bet is that you cannot fit this with any software.

Yeah that appears to be the case. Well it's def out of warranty, guess I'll just nurse it along till the Nexus 7 2016 (assuming it actually is) comes out.

HTC 10 Sprint Screen touch position incorrect

Hello everyone!
So the top 3/4" of my HTC 10 stopped working about 4 months into owning the phone. I tried getting HTC to replace/repair my device, but I forgot to reset it to stock before I sent it in and they decided my warranty was now void and the logic board replacement would run me $350+. I've been using the device for over a year now by using gestures as a workaround.

I had been researching ways to change the positioning of the screen down so I could use it more or less as normal.
I came across the overscan command in ADB. I shifted the screen down to 0,300,0,0 and to my surprise the screen did the exact same thing as it was before I added the margin, just lower down the LCD.
With this I figure the problem must be a software issue instead of a hardware issue as HTC originally implied.
I am currently running ResurrectionRemix 5.8.3 although I have tried several roms and they all produce the same problem.
Is there a way to adjust the digitizers margins so that my touch will line up correctly?
It may be worth noting that when I touch the "dead" area, it does register the touch just under where I'm actually pressing.
Any and all help will be very appreciated.
