Anyone experiencing decreased wifi reception when in landscape? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've noticed I lose a bar or two when I'm holding the tablet in landscape.
Anyone else?

Odd display glitch?

On occasion when I'm viewing stuff on the n7, I'll get a vertical line of what I can only describe as feedback or something about 1.5-2" from the top of the screen (portrait mode). It looks like its just one pixel strip. It's very fast then gone. Anyone have a sort of issue like this?

Screen resolution - random question

In quadrant standard under system specs it says the resolution is 1205 x 800. I thought it was supposed to be 1280 x 800. Does anyone else have this?
Nav bar?

Ding. Or the soft keys on the bottom? Either way the app is just spitting back the current size of the area it is running on.

It is the soft buttons. As someone else already mentioned the app is just reporting back usable screen real estate.

If you have a ROM that can toggle the system bar, like glazed jellybean, toggle it off, test, it comes back as 800x1227 fr me at least- so it is caused by the system bar (the one at the bottom of the screen)

[Q] Screen flicker?

Anyone else have occasional screen flicker with their Nexus 7? Sometime I see a horizontal line flicker. It looks hardware-related to me.
Is it just me?
Thanks in advance...

Yeah, I get that occasionally too. Apparently changing your kernel can solve it

Yes. I see it mostly when on chrome

Momentary black screen

Anyone had this one? Since 4.2, the screen momentarily goes black, with a similar transition to hitting the task manage soft key, but transiting to the left in landscape, then flicks back to normal use. Happens in apps...screws up some games, puts others into pause mode as if a task has been switched. Thought it might have had something to do with auto rotation going a bit bonkers, but not sure....
Not heard any reports...have looked through the forum, couldn't find anything.
Weird...it just did it then....but the keyboard stayed on screen, xda disappeared to the left...
Any thoughts and thanks in advance

Ok..just happened again while in portrait mode. Definitely saw it flick to landscape. Rotation is locked btw.
Hmmmmm.....

It happened to me three times last night after update to 4.2 :crying:
Ok...so, while sitting in a tedious meeting, Nexus in landscape, propped up with its folding case the screened flipped upside down and stayed upside down. 3 times. My ipad using colleague giggled.
Any way to recalibrate the tilt sensor? Or any other suggestions?
It's not the end of the world but...there must be a patch solution or other? Before 4.1 I used the auto rotate app, I forget its correct name...
Thoughts?

I used logcat to monitor the Nexus 7 until the random rotation happened. After looking at the log I realized that it was always the same process being activated and that process was nVision.
Since nVision always rotates into landscape mode I was suspicious that perhaps when it tried to update itself in the background it was changing the screen orientation. I disabled notifications and then uninstalled the app and the problem has completely gone away. I have had no random rotations at all in the last 24 hours.

Okie doke.
For the record.... 48 hours and no random flips to landscape and back. I'd be willing to be a substantial amount of money this was the culprit. However, whether this is a 4.2 issue per se vs. Bad behavior in nVision is an open Question.

Ok. Disabling nvision notifications still flips out. Will uninstall later.
Thanks again

Uninstall it. I still think it checks in and screws your screen, whether it shows you the notification or not.

Uninstalled...all good so far. Woooooo!

Screen orientation issue

Hi guys,
Once in a while it seems phone screen orientation sometimes get messed up.
I'm on pure nexus ROM, only way to get it working is clicking on orientation setting tile once and back on.
Is this normal?
Thanks

Have the same problem, stock ROM
I do as well, sometimes it gets stuck in one direction. It's not frequent, but it happens to me once every two/three days. Stock rom. I can fix it by turning the phone the direction it thinks it is, and back again.

Thanks guys, do you know if it is hardware issue or software issue? If hardware should we be worried and checking for replacement?

i'm guessing software. android has never been that great at screen rotation. i think its improved dramatically but i just chalk it up to android being android.
