Is there something specific on the left side of the nexus 7? Whenever I stick it in a folio case it turns off and when I hit power and unlock, it will go straight to a black screen....I take it out of the case and its fine.
So confused.
Does the case have a magnet in it?

The magnet (a rare earth magnet) tells the device to turn off. It's a feature.
The magnet when close to the bottom left side turns the unit off.

Ah thanks bro, i was wondering what was causing it but didnt even think of the magnet. Guess I'm gonna have to put it in with the power buttons hidden and try to press them hard enough haha.

Is there any way to repair it? I dropped it from a ~1.5ft. edge and it already has a dent. The dent is on the bezel, and is seen easily if you bend the phone. Pic:

You can put a bumper on it .. it will hide the dent. Other than that, only a new bezel will help you.

Gosh, can I not just open the back part of the phone, and be able to hit the dented part from inside?

that would void warranty,
you could try open it to push it back with a round metal object, if the phone is fine, either open it or hide it with a case
You're lucky you didn't crack the screen. You would of needed a complete LCD replacement. I would slap a case on it and call it a day.

It is a plastic bezel, so that would not do any good at all.
Like other people have said, it sure does not look as sleek as a naked n4, but just put a case on your phone
Just noticed that swiping to capture screen not working. It is ON in Advanced Features. Menu button + Power button does do a screen capture however. No change with different launchers.
Can anyone duplicate or recommend a fix? Thanks
Notice same thing it doesn't work
I got mine turned off usually, just turned it on for testing after I saw this thread, and it's working fine in both directions.
Is it not working sometimes? Or not at all?

Well I figured it out for my phone. I have the phone in a Caseology Wavelength case. Swipe Capture doesn't work. When I take the phone out of the case, swipe to capture works. I put the phone into a cheap clear gel case that I first got with the phone and swipe to capture works.. Very strange. Wonder what the case is doing to prevent the function.
I searched and it looks like I might be the only person with this problem. When I am in a phone call, the screen isn't being turned off when I hold the phone up to my ear. I can't really tell where the proximity sensor is so I can test covering it completely though. Right now I have to press the power button if I want the screen off during a call. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

The proximity sensor is number 5 on the diagram below:

In the past I've had a similar issue that was caused by a screen protector - try removing it if you've got one that covers the sensor. Having said that, I currently have a spigen protector that covers the sensor and I'm not experiencing any issues.

What model phone do you have, if it's a Samsung you can test the proximity sensor in the diagnostic menu of the phone. Had the same problem and had to send it in for repair.

checkout the screen protector if you used sometimes we buy poor quality

Hello, friends of the Note 4.
Im note sure if i am right here to ask about a specific problem.
Like i mentioned in the headline, the display of my phone turns on by minimal touches it seems, for example if i take the phone in my hand but not puch any button. Can be that it also turns on without toches, im not so sure.
The effect is hardly reproducable though, by handling the phone rougher just to see if the display turns on. Not sure.
Im a little stumped by this problem, since it didnt changed by flashing another rom. Im a little afraid that it could be a hardware problem... Hope not.
Do you have any advice for me what to try or in what direction to look for a solution?
Thanks!
Quick Glance on for some reason? LOL!

What even is Quick Glance? I use a Note 7 rom, by the way... Just truned off smart stay. It will take time to see if it solved the problem.
I think this problem is related to the apps that can appear on top like pie control, drup or any other 3rd party apps. So try to disable them one by and see which app is causing this problem. Cheers

Thanks for reply! Honestly, the whole Apps hat can appear on top thing is a super bother. I dont really understand the sense of it. Yes i will try to disable all.
Soooo... My wife dropped her VS980 for the first time in 2 years. All seemed fine (hell I've dropped phones countless times) at least for an hour or two.
We got home and her screen started to do this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, I researched it and found that insulation of some screen components in the phone are very important to keep insulated. So I popped it open, and it looked fine. But I threw a piece of electrical tape between the components regardless:
Phone still does the lines. A few key notes: Dark backgrounds don't really affect it, turning brightness up high really sets it off, if I cycle the screen on and off it seems to go away, for a few seconds at least, before it starts creeping back into the screen.
Any thoughts? I was hoping if I powered down and left it inactive maybe it would give the LCD time to reset? Sounds stupid though. Could it be anything else? GPU? Bad luck?

Bought a new LCD from Fixez.com. Just arrived today. Hopefully this corrects the issues. I'll let you all know if it does.

UPDATE: The new screen worked perfectly. Took me about an hour, and was able to get it completely changed. Working great now. I hope this helps anyone troubleshooting screen issues!
