Bought Nexus 7 today @ 9PM. rclxms.gif At last, my kid won't kacau my phone anymore.

Redeem the promotion gift and damn... screen popping up. doh.gif It was not there when I unboxed it at the shop.

Anyway, after reading a few guides on the net, I started prying off the back cover from the top all the way to the bottom. If you familiar with Samsung phone, I bet you can pry off the cover easily.

Used two methods to stick em back. The loosen and tightening screws on hard cover book and slotted in washers methods at the same time. So far it works, no more pressing and popping up screen anymore. The screen fit snugly on the bezel.

I just used my old laminated driving license ID as the washer. More flexibility.

Might take a while to load the pics...

Can you please share with us how you make the lubang on the laminate for the screw to go through? And if the problem happens again despite your fix, do share with us too. Please don't misunderstand that I am trying to curse you or anything, hahaha! It's just that I read that the problem may come back despite the fix.

I used swiss army pocket knife, there is a tool to make a hole.

Update: Check again this morning and it still like the same as I left it last night. Will monitor it further.

I think it is not build quality issue, it is more on design failure. If you use ticker washer, the back cover won't fit properly and hence squeaking. If too thin or just by tightening the screws, the screen will pop up because the bezel was forced downward. My left and right hand side of the screen resting at different degree of depth, but at least it solved the pressing and popping out issue at the moment. Hopefully it will stay.

I used the 25 for this app. Hate the stock launcher orientation when came out of landscape app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...l.fameit.rotate

Wanna ask, Nexus 7 product codename is grouper or nakasi?

Update:

Does it mean something like this... grouper is the name like maguro in Gnex and nakasi is yakju in Gnex?

USB speakers works well with this tab,
U can plug it to the USB n the go cable.

Its so much louder and cleared than default speaker.
A big finding for me since my speaker is muffled,

Now can watch videos comfortably.

That is supported since JB especially Nexus 7, what it lacks is usb audio dac support. Which will improve the sound quality. I wonder why SGS3 has this feature but not Google own device. hmm.gif

The put the cheap one inside, at least give the kernel support for USB DAC so the sound can pass through to it for audiophile quality.

Haha.. I was just about to post about this piece of news! Now this news makes me wanna sell off my current N7... any takers?  biggrin.gif

Yeah, I might do the same. I've been lurking around to find vanilla android tablet with 3G. Sadly, I could not find the best Xoom offers so I grabbed N7.

At least I can utilize my other Sim card. It has been collecting dust for a couple of months since I lost my 3G modem.
