[Q] Issues. - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone getting incorrect Info from your top bar where the battery and time are?
Been noticing on my Nexus 7 I\O version that the top bar seems to get stuck, and display old info such as time and battery life.
Just curious.
Liking it so far, i m having the screen flickering issues that a few others mentioned.
No other real problems yet to notice.

No issues here mayne. Hope there's gonna be a fix for you

Anybody have any issues with touch screen performance being intermittent? I'm certain it might be a software bug, because once I turn the screen off then back on it works no problem. It's like the touch sensor develops dead spots and locking and unlocking it resets them.

My n7 seemed to die on the first day, even though it was plugged in to the mains and displaying charging in the top corner. After this it wouldn't reboot or even display the battery icon. Further fiddling the next day got it booting again and charging fine. I am now wondering if it had some issue like the one you describe. Either way, it is booked for replacement partly for these issues and partly as the screen is rising at the left hand edge.

Touch screen occasionally messed up

Hi,
I've got some weird problems with my N1. I searched around but couldn't find the solution.
I've tried CM7 stable 7.0.3 and Nighties 87 builds, and this problem happens to both.
1. When I'm running an app, such as "plants vs zombies", or typing with keyboard, when I touch a spot, it thinks I touch another spot. For example, when I touch key "D", it may give me a "space". When I try to place a plant on the left side, it puts it on the right side.
2. When I'm watching videos with MoboPlayer, the screen is locked sometimes (maybe this is a setting that I don't know, how do I turn this feature off?). When I press the "menu" button, it was supposed to unlock the screen, but it actually unlocks and locks back and forth continuely, and the phone keeps vibrating.
All the problems will be gone if I just lock the phone and unlock again. However, it will come back after a while.
Please help and thank you very much!

Yep, always been a problem with the Nexus One and often on capacitive touchscreens when plugged into a charger. You've stated the known workaround.

Really? Are you saying that these problems happen to all Nexus one and we all have to live with them?
By the way, I have these problems regardless if I'm charing or not.

Correct.

I see. Thanks.
Just turn off the screen then back on, it clears this bug and only takes a second.
All nexus ones have this issue.
I traveled from Singapore to the States for about 2 weeks in May and I suddenly had this issue too. I never had it for the 16 months I owned it back here in Singapore. And when I got back after my 2 weeks trip, the problem never occurred at all again.
I'm guessing that it has to do with either the temperature or humidity levels.

I agree with you. I think it has to do with humidity specifically because it happens only when I just left from the bathroom (taking a shower) and there is a vapor, then the touch gets crazy!

Iv'e only had it a few times in about 16 months. But, it's very dry here in Vegas wih very low humidity!
I've had this issue from day one with the nexus one. For me atleast it triggers everytime I have the phone plugged in and I'm using the phone at a 90 degree angle, like sideways in bed, very strange.

But never happened in other conditions.
This happens on mine too, but if the problem is the humidity, so why lock the screen and unlock it solves?

southern china. occurs occasionally also. yet not so often these days. more often when charging. it seems that temperature matters alot, not sure about humidity.

I have similar problems as mentioned irregularly, but sometimes switching the screen off and on doesn't fix it at all. It's not very humid where I live (except when it's raining). Has anyone else considered replacing the digitizer (the touchscreen panel) of the phone, and if this would fix the problem?

I sent my N1 back to HTC for warranty repair because of this issue. They did something and sent it back saying all good now. The issue occurs less frequently now but it is there.
I suspect there is something in the trackball area that generates EMF of certain qualities (frequency?) and it interferes with the screen circuitry due to poor shielding and close proximiy.

this is definitely a design flaw of N1, the touchscreen controller chip just SUCKS

unresponsive screen when warm ?

hey guys, does anyone have issues with the screen becoming unresponsive when warm ? I first noticed after leaving the unit on charge in the sunlight, screen up. basically the screen needs more than a touch, sometimes it doesn't respond without a firm hand. after playing with a few different kernels this is definately an issue for me. even on stock if i play a game for long enough, heat will lead to the screen becoming unresponsive ??? stock rom and kernel is where I'm at right now and the issue is still present ? any thoughts guys ?

I have the problem where the screen will become less responsive after using it for a while, but not completely unresponsive. It's hard to notice at times, I have "show touches" enabled to help me see it. Cycling the screen off then back on fixes it. I've been hoping that someone would be able to definitively say if it's an individual hardware defect or a software bug. Seems like a lot of people have this issue.
It's especially annoying when playing a touch game that requires fast, accurate inputs.

Are we 100% sure it's hardware? I find it odd locking/unlocking really quick would remedy a hardware issue.
I'm thinking the problem may be more widespread than it seems. It's easy to not notice it. I only noticed when I had problems controlling a few precision input, fast-paced games.
Lets us know if your third one does it as well.

Nexus 7 Erratic Touchscreen - Android 4.4

Anyone had issues with random touches still after 4.4 update? I never had them on 4.3 but have had it twice now where the device does random things until I am forced to hold the power button to switch it off as the menu that comes up when you hold the power button can't be used because the touchscreen touches outside the box.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
I'm also experiencing it.Randomly though.It doesn't appear when I type.It's frequent when I play Injustice,I can notice that my actions are not detected and when I try to power it off,I get stuck with the power off menu,same as you mentioned.My homescreen bobs between adjacent panes sometimes. Any known fix?

Same issue here. Sometimes a touch is not registered unless you hold it for a second.
Rebooting fixes it ... But I was wondering if someone is getting on the bottom of this?
Exact same issue here, I have to keep rebooting by long pressing power button to fix it temporarily. So damn annoying.

Plug your tablet via USB to either your computer or an outlet and do some typing. Does the problem go away? I saw someone mention on the forum a while ago about a possible grounding issue, something to do with hardware. Mine does go away. I have zero issues typing when my tablet is plugged in.
Same issue. I guess it is related to kit kat. I am running omnirom, and the reason I flashed it was because my nexus 7 starting spazzing out on me. I thought flashing a rom would fix it, but it did not. What I do it enable show touches in developer options to see where the screen is touching. Then I swipe the entire screen row after row especially the point(s) where it detects the touches that you did not make. Just touch every area of the screen, and it went away, for a little bit at least.
Mine touch problem worsened after kitkat. Not recognising touch At all while lying on the table, to ghost touches to, missing touch it's having all. Though I still love my nexus but it has made the experience bitter sweet

Happens on my Nexus 7 2013 with stock 4.3.
I tested my screen when I first got it with no problems, after updating to 4.4.2. There was one time where it wouldn't register any taps, but problem was fixed after reboot.
My Nexus is still wrapped in its original plastic cover. I have used it very little, and have not noticed any screen mis-clicks or whatever. Are there any guaranteed steps to reproduce the problem ?

just using it, download a multi touch testing problem and place 2 fingers (imagining a grid) one on top of the other or horizontally, if it doesn't happen quickly, give it a few minutes without shutting off the screen and try again...
I sent mine for warranty and ASUS lost it... so I'm just gonna get my money back, dealing with them with the BBB
Mine actually improved drastically with kit Kat. I now get nearly flawless touchscreen response. The one or two times it has happened since, simply locking and unlocking the device resolves the issue.

Have downloaded a multutouch application and have tried it until I got bored. It seems that it detected correctly where my fingertips where, one, two or three at the same time and moving all the time.
I had it disconnected from the USB and laying on the couch, seemed to work OK.
Maybe it is the plastic wrapper making it all work OK?
I had zero touch issues when I first got mine (did 10mins of multi-touch testing with app), after the recent 4.4.2 update, I was getting erratic/missed touches. Multi-touch app confirmed the same, 8 fingers on the screen, it jumped from 8 all the way down to 2 touch readings. A little digging around and I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428133
I tried it out and fixed my touch issues. Give it a try.
I reconnected the touchscreen connector, after that most touch issues were gone except for a rare occasion when I still get ghost touches. Tap sensitivity (typing) is so much better now, it used to be nearly impossible

I went thru 3 of them all had the same issue with the touchscreen not being properly responsive and it corrected when the USB cable was connected (tried all 3 with JB and KK saw no change). Its obvious there are grounding issues with this product and It looks like Nexus doesn't really care; which is really disappointing since my first gen has performed flawlessly. Looks like I'll keep the original and start looking into some other brands.

Did anyone try to play jelly splash on nexus 7?

This game works awfully on my nexus 7 as the connected line broke prematurely when my finger never left the touchscreen at all.
Anyone face same problem with the game as me?

ERRATIC nexus 4 tocuhscreen. Ghost touches

so my screen started with this crazy thing. theres a dead line on top of the screen. and touchscreen litteraly goes crazy. opens and closes apps, zooms in and out, swipes. this stops when i turn the screen of and back on, temporarely.
the phone has never been dropped or damaged in any way. just started randomly. i've tried 4.4.2, 4.2.2, custom roms, franco kernel,
flashing stock rom via fastboot fixes it,.
dead line desapears, everything goes back to normal. but when i leave it over night charging. the problem revives. i've seen this problem in youtube and google forum.. with the same deadline on the upper screen..
I Made a touchscreen text and everythiing is fine. but when the deadline appears fails
HELP!
My gf is having the exact same problem with her phone at the moment. I'm guessing that the digitizer needs to be replaced...but any other thoughts are certainly welcome.

I also disconnected battery.. no fix. right now theres no deadline. i think it could be the battery. like when you plug in with wrong charger and phone goes crazy.
right now theres no deadline. works perfectly no deadline. low battery tho:crying::crying:
Could be a grounding issue. When I use chargers that aren't probably made I'll have that problem. Try using another wall charger and another wall socket.
Well, mine it's definitely the screen. I enabled screen touches in developer options and there is a dead rectangular area across the top of the screen that doesn't register most touches...and occasionally sporadic ghost touches start erratically pressing this area not allowing me to touch elsewhere. I'll likely have to start looking at repair options.

happened to me with my previous phone lg optimus black and kind of happened with my nexus. in the previous phone i had a lot of ghost touch. they started happening one every phew days and after six month i had ghost touches every single day rendering the phone almost unusable. got it for guarantee and they changed the touch screen. the problem started again on the new digitizer with some sporadic ghost touches, on the same day! after that i bought nexus. after a while i saw ghost touches too but it's rare. for me the ghost touches happened when i was playing a game called tubing and with time happened every where. tubing is a game where a lot of quick touches is required. now that i stopped playing that game everything seems fine
a friend of mine had this problem some time ago with htc hd2. the service told him that this kind of touch technology has problems in warm weather(i live in cyprus and in the summer it gets up to 42 43 degree celcious) .

I have lost all touch sensitivity in the down part basically I can't use the Nav bars and also above the nav bars sometimes its very hard to press on things check out my video I have it here in the last part http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDDOSyLLnGs&feature=gp-n-y
nexus 4 ghost touches and dead screen.
Believe it out not, the crazy ghost touch and dead screen areas are NOT the screen. It is the battery. It sounds crazy, but it is true. The bad party is, nexus 4 batteries are old. Buying a new one won't necessarily solve the problem. I would buy the brand name this party battery.I have had bad new oem batteries die to their age.
Hello guys ley me join this party of ghost
As my device is also doing same weird thing like unnecessary touch without my feedback in most of third party app, setting app and in play store it goes crazy and start clicking on any option available without my touch
But the thing which is making me frustrate that this happens only on custom kernel as I tried all with stock google factory image 5.1 and this problem arise just a few days back and I was on custom ROM with custom kernel before 5.1 update everything was fine but after 5.1 update I mean custom 5.1 ROM with custom kernel this problem arises now if I m going back to 5.0.2 custom ROM with custom kernel my device become crazy and just start clicking any option in setting app I m totally stuck with Google factory image and stock kernel
Please guys if any one has pepper solution for this ghostly touch help me so that I can enjoy custom ROM and kernel :crying:
Mouse BlueTooth (without adapter)
I found the cheapest possible solution, as the replacement digitizer is not profitable.
I bought a mouse BlueTooth (without adapter) without problems and now I can move the cursor around the screen over the entire surface.
N4 is not for me everyday device.
In my case, I bought a mouse i-Tec Bluetouch 243.

Replacement fixed it all

Hey everyone so I had the turbo ballistic edition when it was released. After two months I started to get problems from it and have tried all the ways possible to fix it. I did fdr, art mode, reboot, updates and it still had weird heating issues for normal light use with the cooling down would take forever. The capacitive buttons would not work every so often a day. I then last week talked with a Verizon rep and ended up getting a certified like new turbo and those problems have do away completely resulting in a much better battery life and everything else.
Can you go into some more depth about the issues you were facing? Sometimes my capacitive buttons don't work and I have to random scroll or press buttons on the screen to get it working again. Not sure if I have the heating/battery life issue, could you describe what you were seeing?

I was facing two issues. One of which was that issue of the capacitive button, I too had that issue tough have been encountering. The other tissue was that my phone would heat up quickly just by surfing the web and social media. Alongside the cooling down would take a great amount of time. Now with this certifified like new replacement it has all been gone now. Capacitive buttons used to fail me twice a day and now I haven't encountered no problem whatsoever alongside there isn't so much heating anymore plus the cooling down is so quick now thankfully.
Sometimes my capacitive buttons don't work either.

What a bummer those turn of events happened to your screen. Hopefully the new replacement doesn't give you problems and I have one suggestion when you get the replacement. As soon as you set it up without installing apps, put it on art mode with the charge it has then drain the battery until it shuts off while play store is restoring device. Art mode has significant increased my battery life to where I get 5 hours of sot with still 40-45 of battery left.
I have the same issue with the capacitive buttons. Sometimes they stop working and I have to touch the screen or scroll a bit for them to respond again. Not sure i want to go through a replacement just for that though.

Your right there isn't much need for that issue to get a replacement. I had weird heating issue hence why I had to get one.
I was given a DROID TURBO but how can I know if it is "CERTIFIED Like New" or "completely new - unused".
Thank You
Sorry noon question... What's art mode?
