I bought the NS last week on Thursday and the back button seems to stick a lot and I have to press a lot harder. The other 3 buttons work perfect so I'm just curious if anyone else is having similar issues. I'm guessing I'll have to test it back because it's quite annoying having to press it 3-4 times just to get it to work.
I had to exchange mine yesterday because the back button would disappear and become completely unresponsive...
I also exchanged one that had this issue.
The search button and home button did not work for me when I first turned it on. They worked after I restarted it.
No button problems here

My buttons haven't had any problems thus far
Make sure you have that factory screen protector off. I've had it happed with my Vibrant, but once I took it off, everything was actually working fine.
Glad to see I'm not the only one but it sucks that I have to exchange it though and re root it all over again.
the back button sucks in general Ive gone through 2 but I still have the plastic maybe thats my problem
Ive also had that issue best buy replaced it for me. This units back button works great.

Okay I've been having this issue since I got my Nexus a couple of weeks ago. Several times a day I'll go to take it out of my pocket or pick it up off a table and when I go to hit the unlock button at the top nothing happens, the screen never wakes up. The trackball will still be lighting up as always but nothing on the screen. I have to pull the battery in order to get it to reboot so I can use it.
Due to this issue and getting dust under my screen I called HTC for a replacement. I got my replacement yesterday and got it all set up again. Within the first 2 hours I picked it up off my table and it wouldn't wake up. And this has probably 4 times since I got the phone yesterday.
Is ANYONE have this issue? I think it's a little weird it happened on my original device and now on my replacement.
Never happened to mine so far that I have noticed. Not that this information helps you any but...
ive bought 2 for me and one for a friend. None have any issues at all so far
I haven't had this problem...
just for the hell of it have you tried restoring it.

you bought 2 for yourself and one for your friend? Can I be your friend?
Maybe you're just not pushing the button hard enough, or you need to find a "sweet spot."
I've never had this issue. Is it possible that you have installed an application that could be the issue?
i had this problem too for the first time last night. My notification light was flashing... pressing power button did not wake up.... I even long pressed power buttoin in the hope of getting the shutdown option, but nothing... i did a quick google search to see if there was a way of soft resetting, but couldnt find one, so pulled out the battery.
Its been fine since
No I only bought one of them but had to do an exchange on it because of it not waking up and the screen was getting dust under it. The exchange I got in the mail is still doing the wake up thing.
It's not due to pushing the button wrong I know that much haha. I'm a pretty skilled button presser
Well at least one person knows what I'm talking about. Let me know if it happens to you again
I have 2 nexus ones and one of then does have this issue. I have had it happen 3 to 5 times.

Have you rooted either of them? I'm thinking it's some type of software glitch that might be fixed once new ROMs get cooked up but I've been holding off on rooting to preserve my warranty because of this issue.
Never had that problem.
Just so the forum doesn't just fill up with complaints.

iv been having this prob with the mt3g, tmobile is sending me a new phone im thinking its the htc keyboard apk or the nexus news widget apk, i have never had this problem till i put these two apps on my mt3g
Oh man! I thought I was the only one with this issue! It sometimes a couple of times a day and it's extremely inconvenient! I thought maybe my phone had gotten too hot and it froze or something but I could never figure out why it really happened. Mine is also rooted so maybe that's the issue? I hope someone finds the cause of this problem and even better, a solution, soon. It's pretty annoying, and one of the very few things that I don't like about my new partner.
I must be a lucky sob,beacause my nexus has no problems at all, working vib, no dust under screen, all buttons work, no problems at all (knocks on wood)
I'm having one issue and it can be annoying. Sometimes my screen just doesn't respond and if it does it's miles off. like if I press in the middle, the menu pops up as if the calibration is off by an inch or so. The annoying part is when a call comes in and I can't slide to answer which makes me miss a proper button.
My N1 is not rooted and a reboot normally sorts it out.
Edit: I forgot to mention that this almost always happens after I plug the charger like it is now arrrrgghhhhhhh.
I'm not having any issue with power on button and my N1 is not rooted (yet).
So I just booted up my new tab, started setting it up and it worked great. Started up a youtube video, then it locked up. Touchscreen stopped working, power buttons still work though. WTF? should I return it? It It turns on when I press the power button, but that its. Touchscreen is no responding
Lmao messed up the title : (
Is there a way to reboot it?
Try holding down the volume down(the left one) and the power button down for 5 seconds to force the tab to shut off. Then turn it on and see if the problem is still there. If so then return it and get a new one.

I've noticed this a few times on mine. A quick press of the power button usually fixed it.

Okay I am not the only one. The last two days Ive been getting these weird lock up. Hitting the power button will resolve it. Mostly its happening when I am surfing the net.

I am having the same issue. I had a 32GB 10.1 from Amazon.com that worked flawlessly and then I saw the deal on eBay from Datavis for 529.00 so I ordered one from them. I never had this issue with the Amazon unit.
I wonder if I should return it or wait until something is addressed by Samsung.
Return it right away if it is freezing. That is only going to get worse.
Mine did that aswell, got so bad it would lock up then i hit the lock button and unlcok the tab is starts working then 1 minutes later same thing this happened for about a day or so then i called amazon they sent a replacement but then my tab just stopped doing that its been more than a week and hasn't done it since. im thinking of just returning the replacement back to amazon since the whole process or regetting apps is a pain.
I had to return mine, since it was not responding at all, no reboot or any power button presses would resolve it. It happened suddenly, before it was working just fine.
I'm on my 3rd (and final) Galaxy Tab... the two previous ones I had exhibited the same behavior. Unlock the screen, but the touchscreen doesn't work. It shouldn't do that, and if this 3rd device does that even once, it gets returned, I get my money back, and I'll stick with the Asus Transformer.
Hello
I have just received my Galaxy SIII after a long long wait and have a slight issue.
Sometimes, the capacitive menu button activates every 10 seconds or so and when this happens the menu and back button are unresponsive until I lock the phone. Once unlocked it seems fine again.
I have reset the phone as it first happened on first boot and seemed OK all last night until my first use with it this morning it did the same. Again after turning the screen off then on again (not a restart) it works fine.
Any ideas if this is a hardware or software issue? Has anyone else had this problem? I have searched but couldn't see anything.
Many Thanks
Russell
Definitely a hardware issue with the touchscreen digitizer. You should return that phone as soon as possible.

That's not the answer I was after
I'll contact the supplier and see what they will do. Don't think they have that much stock.
Thanks for your help.
I bought my TF300 at Amazon June and basically it works well until yesterday.
The sympton is like someone keep tapping the specific areas of touchscreen and never stop, actually i haven't put my finger on ,even i didn't hold the tablet, just put it on desktop.
I had to tried to hold the power button to restart the TF300 several times and finally it looks become normal.
But this morning, when i power it on, the problem occurred.
Anyone have idea this problem ?
Weird. Do you have a screen protector on? If you do, you might need to take it off. If you don't, try cleaning your screen with the cloth it came with, also do a cold reboot (this is done by turning off your tablet then turning it back on holding the volume down button until you see some text in the upper left of the screen, after that just leave the tablet do he's thing, meaning don't touch anything else until it boots up). If that doesn't fix the problem, you will need to try to do a factory reset. If that fails to fix the problem I suggest you contact ASUS support or if its still under amazon's warranty exchange for a new one.

I gotta to contact ASUS local first.
A friend of mine bought it in Amazon U.S for me and bring it to China, which makes me hard to exchange ( International post fee and custom tax).

Mine wasn't picking when I pressed on the screen... I open the back and saw a ribbon cable was kinda loose and held with tape. So I pressed it in and put more tape on it and now its fine with the response from the screen.

I've noticed differences touch responsiveness between different roms. What are you using?

It rooted.
since the day i posted the problem here,i used out the battery and recharged it to full,the issue didnt happen again.
what i can recall that before the problem happened,i had connectd it to my PC by USB cable,maybe it is another clue about cause.

Fix for touchscreen issues
Hey guys,
I thought I'd post my solution to the same problem. It is a hardware issue and I figured it was because of how thin the device is. Basically, I noticed it when I would be playing or if the device started to heat up. Since the battery and screen are so close together, I figured there wasn't enough space and that the heat from the battery was making the tablet think that there was a touch input when there was none.
My solution was to open up the tablet and take the battery out. Then I put slivers of foam (about 1/2" x 2") in between the battery and the screen. Since then I haven't had problems with the touchscreen.
I hope this helps you guys with this problem.
Hello-
I usually do not open threads but I need advice on this recent touch responsiveness issue that has been happening. My Nexus 7 8 GIG was running great I had not had one issue with it, until one day I opened the case "Poetic leather case with magnet locks" and the screen came on notifications were on and animated everything looked fine. I went to unlock it and the touch screen did not respond to anything, now the screen rotates fine and all but it would not respond to touch. So I reset it with the power button, the touch screen then works until it times out and turns off, I wake it up and the screen does not respond again. I took it out of the case and have manually turned it on/off and it still does not respond to touch, but it will work every time I reset it. This problem has came out of nowhere it was running great.
I was originally on AOKP Milestone 1 with Franko's Kernel r25 so I thought maybe that was it so I re flashed Milestone 1 and kept the stock kernel and the problem persists. So I wiped everything and put BAMF Paradigm on it and it still does this, but the touch screen responds every time it is manually reset so I am trying to figure out if this is hardware or software related I am led to believe it is software considering the touch screen works flawlessly upon reboot but again I am not sure.
I have not added any new apps or anything like that to cause a memory leak or such. This problem started when I left the N7 for two days without touching it, then the problem happened after I tried to use it after the two days of inactivity.
Update: I turned the N7 off for about a day booted it back up now the touch screen is working every time I am confused.
So I still have 7 months on my ASUS manufactures warranty should I send this unit back? I just do not want to think its software related and it will get fixed through updates and then find out it is hardware related and be out of the warranty period.
I am on 4.1.2 with the last boot loader "not the new one"
latest version of TWRP
Thanks everyone in advance for your time.
It seems like a magnet bad effect to me! not sure though cuz the nexus 7 suppose to work fine with magnetic cases but it could be a Magnetic field effect. In my opinion as long as it works don't send it cuz you don't know what happens there in the service center, I mean once the device is opened it would never get the same as before.

Yea I had thought that was it but I took it out of the case and still does it so no dice on that field
well i flashed the latest google image and just started fresh. The touch screen is now working without issue so hopefully it was nothing still not sure though what would have caused this though -_-
