I just received my RMA on my first nexus (5 lines of dead pixels up and down the screen, not unnoticeable screen lift, lol) and after opening it, I thought I'd lucked out with a perfect unit. Since then, I've noticed microscopic left screen lift, but it didn't concern me. As I started playing dead trigger today, however, every time I lay two or more fingers on the screen, it starts jerking around like I'm having a seizure.
When using the browser, I went to scroll down and I used a larger portion of the pad of my thumb, and instead of scrolling down it started zooming in and out and jerking around in a similar fashion. This behavior is cannot be duplicated on my galaxy nexus, my galaxy tab 10.1, or my buddies Evo 4G LTE. Is this something anyone else is seeing on this device? I do not remember it happening on my first Nexus 7, but because of the lines, I didn't use it very much.

I suspect that's a Dead Trigger problem, since I'm currently getting the same on my HTC One X (which I wasn't before the 1.5.1 update to Dead Trigger).
I had considered that, but the game plays great on the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Tab 10.1. Also, since discovering this, I've been testing it in XDA app, Email app, further testing in chrome, and on the home screen and it occurs in all of them.

Yes, the Nexus 7 has an inherent multitouch problem. See this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789450
I haven't had any great use of the camera yet so I haven't noticed this until now. If I hold my Nexus 7 (portrait) with the camera at a level with my nose I just barely get my face in the display with a lot of space above my head. I have to tilt the whole thing towards me and it would make video chat uncomfortable.
I've asked a friend who owns one and they have the same issue so I want to know how many others, if any, have this issue. I haven't heard anything about it here or elsewhere but I have to admit to only doing a brief search before posting this thread.
If I hold mine perfectly vertical with the camera at nose level about 8 inches away my face is perfectly centered in the screen.

Yep mine is off.. clearly points below where it should - I use the picture logon and have point above my forehead to get my face in?!

I've sent off a support question to ask if it's a known issue. I don't think it would be enough of an issue for me to return it but I'd like to know that I can if choose to.
OK last update for anyone interested. I got a reply and it is a known issue so you can get a warranty replacement if you want one.
Hey All,
I did a quick search through the N7 forums and didn't find anything, so I'm going to throw out yet another effect that I'm hoping some of you hardcores out there are experiencing: When I apply pressure to the lower left hand corner of the tablet (left and bottom bezels, tablet upright with camera on top), it blanks and screen locks; it sort of fizzles a bit and I have to reopen the screen a few times using the power button to bring it back to a stable, open state.
You might say "don't hold it there." Fair enough. But that happens to be one of my favorite places to hold it when I read a book, so it'd be a bit more of a change than I'd prefer... Suggestions on how to fix it would be great.
Thanks!
John

Tried to replicate the problem you are facing but no such problem on my nexus7. Maybe you should get a replacement.

Hi there, Nexus 4 Owners
I just got my Nexus 4 a while ago, it is a great device, everything is perfect... except I notice my Nexus 4 screen is too sensitive.
The first time I noticed it is when I had it in my pant pocket, it was a bit tight, someone called me and I tried to pull the device out then I noticed the call has been rejected.
The next time after that, it opened Google Now while being pulled out. Then I tried to cover my finger with a piece of cloth and touched the screen, it was still responsive.
I thought it was cool, but lately it has became a problem for me as it occasionally reject, message or open google now when I pulled it out....
Even little vibration while riding on a bike can also cause it to open some apps if it got a call.
It became quite annoying, is there a way I can decrease its sensitive level?
I think your pants are too tight........
A screen protector can help with the sensitive issues

Well, the Nexus 4 is already one of the most insensitive phones out there and you really are the first person I've heard complaining that the Nexus 4's touchscreen is too sensitive.
Did you have that problem with other touchscreen phones too?
Never had those problems at all, does it happen only when you wear jeans or what
You have to push the power button on the side, then slide the lockscreen open, then select and execute an action. And your PANTS do all this automatically???

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.

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?

I had issues before and still afterwards
Particularly notice it whilst trying to type using swiftkey where you swipe across the keys - it seems to think I've lifted my finger when I haven't - very annoying!!

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.

Yes, I have touchscreen problem noticeable after updated to kitkat.
Did anyone try to play jelly splash on nexus 7?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wooga.jelly_splash
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?

fixing it yourself is really easy, it takes 5 minutes and breaks no seals, so no warranty problems
