Hey guys,
I noticed if I put pressure on the left side of the tablets edges, the screen pushes in slightly. It very very slight
Is that something to worry about
Mine does the same thing.. Not too worried about it....yet.

I have the same with original Transformer. I noticed it while trying to check if it creaks (after half a year of having the device). I think it's nothing to worry about.
thanks guys!
Mine does the same thing. The trouble is that when it deflects, it makes a slight 'click' noise that is very annoying.
This is on the left side (i.e. volume rocker side), right?
Mine has it on both the left and the right side. Very slight though. No noise but a little concerning but good to hear that others have the same problem.
mine 2
add it to the list lol
Oh my God, return it now

And I thought I was high... lol. Got that on the lower right side. I hold my tablet with my left hand

I feel like I might return mine if it creaked or the screen had movement. One of the things I love about this tablet and now the dock is how solidly it is built. I have to wonder if all of these creaks and loose screens are a result of careless techs during the wifi correction.

I hate you for mentioning this.
I noticed it the other day, but I wanted to ignore it.
watch for dust getting under the glass tho.. I have a few pieces stuck under it already.
I have the same issue. If you hold the prime in landscape (as it is supposed to be), I can feel the screen push in on the top right and also the bottom right of center (from where you would dock it). Not to concerned right not, but as another poster said, would be worried about it if dust and stuff got in under the screen.
My bevel seems loose around the front facing camera, as if they've not stuck it down properly. Seems ok elsewhere though.

Has anybody noticed a clicking noise...maybe like the screen adhesive or whatnot coming off of the case? The location for me is top right corner right above the right speaker. I don't know if it is the case or the screen but I definitely feel some movement....This along with my previous question of not being able to click on certain pop ups...maybe I have a defective unit?
I have a similar issue near my left speaker. However, it is only an issue if I press too hard. My guess is that its difficult to get a perfect glue job on a unit this thin.

Well I hoped that Asus after TF101 realized that the have to improve the build quality of their tablets. Imagine my madness when I discovered my new Prime is creaking...!!!
A little below of Top left corner of prime. God.....
TF101 was creaking but I never would thought that TF201 will be creaking too!
I thought it will be as good made as Ipad....
Well Asus - this is the last tablet I have bought from you...
Also got a question about the screen. Some times I can sense and see that despite of auto brightness off that the screen adjusts its brightness by itself. It is a little change but my sharp eyes can see this...
Do you have a similar thing?
Contrast changes dynamically when set to power saving mode.
TF201 / XDA premium
Yes I know. But I use all modes and feel the same that sometimes the screen changes a little the brightnes.
my prime seems pretty solid. maybe the glue on your glass panel needs to still set more. Man, Asus has really came up with hit or misses on a tablet being flawed or not. this is a great device though. at the area where you said you hear creaking, does it look like the panel is not flush there? where did you buy it from? you can always exchange it. I know some don't like having to send it off n wait for another one. hearing some of these panel or touchscreen issues be making me check mines on the spot. luckily mines don't show those symptoms.
Yes the brightness changes based on the lighting of the area at the time; it's called auto-adjusting. That is normal and I like that.
Mine is loose and not flush with the device on the bottom right but it is not a huge deal to me

If you push in on the glass in this spot does your volume rocker move?
no it does not
That sucks man. I would be really annoyed if i had a creak in my prime. I have to wonder if they rushed through fixing the wifi issues and damaged some of the primes while in the process. I have seen all of the pics with the scratched bezels that look like the techs were using a flat-head screwdriver to pry these things apart. I'm not sure if mine never went for repair or if the tech that did mine just had the right tools and skills but it seems to be a perfect specimen physically at least. I would love to read an inside account of this product release.

The brightness changes when using this app huh? When u touch the screen to scroll it quickly brightens then goes to normal? It seems like the xda app not the prime
Modded by MBOK
I have an HTC G2, and whenever I touch the screen on a lighter background it changes the tone of the background to a pinkish color. It does it in XDA app as well as web browser, almost anything with a white-ish background. Sounds similar to what your experiencing, it only happens when you touch the screen, right?
the problem with the self adjusting brightness accurs while playing or watching youtube. It doesnt matter if am toutching screen or using dock keybord or just a mouse. I do not know if it is on purpose.
Did you notice the same issue?

I do. None of the other issues but noticed this brightness geekin out with the xda app
Ugh. Mine starting creaking today. It is like the left hand side of the screen has separated something. The right side feels solid. The left has flex to it - like the glass gives ever so slightly, resulting in a very annoying 'click'.
This really sucks, because otherwise the device is fine (no stuck pixels, wifi and GPS works). Guess I'll wait a week or so for Best Buy to get some local stock before taking it in for exchange.

I noticed that my xda app and all Tapatalk apps change brightness for some reason when pressing things I went into the settings on the app and changed the theme to dark works great now. I I also get a creak where my volume rocker is which is cool with me I figure its just because the gap where the rocker is I just don't press it

My TF101 had this and my TF201 does wiggle a bit in the top left. It makes sense with the volume controls there.
I was just wondering if anybody else has an issue with loose glass panel towards the edges of your asus transformer prime? In particular folks who just purchased one. There is about a 1/4" of play mostly at the top/left side of the screen around the volume rocker and to a lesser extent on the right side. It's not a lot, but noticable since that's right where you normally hold it.
I already exchanged it for another one at Office Depot, and this new one has the exact same issue. I can't imagine this would be "normal." Maybe just a defective batch? In either case, I haven't noticed any other issues in the 2 days I had the first one.
They both started with S/N# C30KAS...
C1O from office depot reporting in. Have the exact same issue, right out of the box. My case does make it unnoticeable, though. I'd hate to have to rma it for this.
It is not normal. There are little hatches which hold glass to the frame. If they are broken (they are very thin, I guess they can easily be broken on assembly line) there is no way to fix it apart from taking it apart completely and putting some double sided tape. I would, and did, return it.

Do you realize how much that is? (I assume you mean a quarter inch)
I would just return it.
Yes, it's about a quarter inch. Unfortunately it seems as though these 2 were the last in stock... anywhere. But that's kind of what I thought; just seemed odd to have 2 in a row like that. I guess I'll play with it for a few more days to make sure I still like the TF201 in general and return it later (within the return window). Or maybe if they get a new batch in... exchange it again.
I like to see a picture of this. Quarter inch is really massive.

Yeah, it wasn't good, but it's returned now. Although this 2nd one isn't nearly as bad. In fact, it's only loose on the right side. This is probably closer to an 1/8". So it's doesn't go above the outter bezel.
But I guess the question is whether folks consider any play whatsoever acceptable, normal, or something they even care about. In particular if it's in a case. Not to mention the concern that it might get worse or seperate completely.

On a good unit there is no play. Actually, there is, but it's so small that you have to be looking for it and even then you'd struggle to find it.

Hmm, maybe I'm just being more picky given the much worse amount of seperation I had with the first device. So here is a quick video I just shot with my phone. Not the best quality, but maybe you guys with "good" primes can let me know what ya think.

I'm having the exact same problem, mine also makes an audible "squeek" when pressed, and the compression is definitely visible. The difference though is that mine came back repaired from when I sent it out for RMA, not a replacement. I'll be getting on the phone tonight with them, as the screen is now also starting to display Mura (which it was sent in for the first time I RMA'd it.), and the screen bleed is getting notibly worse to the point where it is very annoying.
mine is also loose in the upper left hand corner area when held in landscape.
On mine there's still lots of areas I can press down but its under 1mm.
I'm more bummed about dust I now see under the screen. Doesn't Apple laminate the lcd to the screen? Wish Asus done it.
i have the same issue. My wife noticed it and I decided that I could live with it.

To me, this is not a defect. It's definitely an imperfection, but it's not a defect.

I see it kinda the same way... I only notice it from time to time in landscape mode. But sometimes I have to test the whole side to find the spot again.
I'm having a really great time with the device, can't think about returning it for for this imperfection.
I've got the same problem albeit the flex is very small.
Well, I decided to at least order a MoKo folio cover case and see if that minor flex is still going to be an issue for me or not. I already don't like the way it feels carrying it around by itself. The edges make it feel somewhat awkward and uncomfortable. So maybe the case is all it needs. Because other than that, I haven't found any other issues, yet.
Hi guys,
My Nexus 10's back, on the left side when facing the screen, has a slight creak to it when pressed. Does anybody else's have this (it can be slightly hard to find at first)? I'm curious, as I'm not sure if there is a DIY way to fix it, and whether or not it is a common occurrence.
I get a click or two from the removable strip but I assume that is just it moving in its seating. Very minor and not a problem. I ignore it.
Yeah, I have that, too. Nothing seems to indicate that the cover is loose somehow, though. Seems to me that it's just the rubber. I wouldn't worry about it. Of course, I wouldn't go choking it there, either.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using XDA Premium HD app
I too get a "Crack Sound" or creak when I grab my tablet from the left side.
Mine is same although my removable strip actually has a probg yhat won't go it so it juts out... Very annoying but I have a case.
So, besides the creaking sound (which doesn't bother me too much), my back actually has two "bubbles" where the back material meets the dimpled strip, and when you look at the tablet top-down, you can actually see the two gaps where the rubbery material is lifted up higher than the dimpled strip. The "bubbles" are basically directly above the "N" and "S"...
I'm assuming this isn't normal and should probably go get an exchange at the store, right?

My left rear has a little more give than the right. Otherwise, the build is clean and sturdy. Did hear a noise once when i was gripping it at a funny angle. Of course if I grip my Vivid wrong the rear plate falls off and the battery even drops out at times. Overall I am very happy with the construction of my nexus10.
like this?

I got my N10 yesterday and I found two problems.
1. The back is really loos. If I press in the middle of the back cover it wobbles and make click sound.
2. There is some light bleeding at the bottom right corner of the screen.
Are these things normal? Or should I exchange it.

The back is fine. As far as light bleed, it's a common problem. How bad it is depends on how much it bothers you.

i get some slight play in the back but compared to the note 10.1, this thing is build like a rock
I received my Nexus 10 at the end of January and have just ordered a replacement...
The creaking and cracking from both sides of the back (directly behind the speakers) is horrendous when I gently squeeze the nexus, for example to lift it - I can usually just ignore these little things, but this is just too bad!
I have a Galaxy Nexus and I love it...the build quality is superb and the fact the Nexus 10 isn't up to the same standard is disappointing.
I will upload a YouTube video to demonstrate it...as I've not seen or heard anyone having creaking this bad...
When I receive my replacement, I'll update this topic. The only saving grace was the Google RMA process was flawless IMO.

I used to get it too but i figured out a way to fix it. Wanna know how? lol Get a nice smart case by Poetic or another brand you prefer. I know theres a thread designated for all the accessories for nexus 10.

Hi guys.
when i am on a landscape mode only, a big square appears every 2-10 seconds on the left upper side of the device (left to the LG logo)...
is it a software or a hardware issue?
Thanks!
Same issue here. No clue.

that's really strange.
I too am having the issue. Will probably use this to justify trading for another phone within my 45 day Best Buy silver premier return window. I like the phone but this issue and how my phone just shuts offs needing me to hold the power button to reset twice a week is getting annoying. I also noticed the back is easily scratched. Always run my screens naked and never had a scratch since my Diamond Touch so figured the back would fare as well as screens. Picked up three noticeable scratches on back within a week.

Is there a reason for these phones turning off like that? It happens to me a bit too, and I have to hold the power button for a bit to get it to restart.
@OP: No, I do not notice this issue. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right area though..
I think it may be related to heat. The area on mine sort of stretches and distorts the image in a nice rectangular area. If you look at the teardown, it is where the ram is located along with processor underneath. Since it happens to everyone in the same spot, I doubt it's a defect in the screen but a symptom of the heat. Can't be a harbinger of good things.
