Screen turning really white - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

While I am using my 16 GB n7 the screen will randomly get really white out of the blue. Should I try to get a replacement?

I would and did. This is a known issue. Some people have had luck by quickly cycling the tablet to sleep/wake and it goes away. Didn't work for me, and even if it did I wouldn't be able to live with it. My replacement has been perfect so far.

So pretty much I should return it okay thanks. Kinda pissed that this is my 2 return now for a different reason.

Screen keeps going to sleep

Ive noticed when watching any type of video my 7 keeps slowing dimming to the point it goes off . I've tried messing with the sleep its on 15 or 30 mins. Has anyone else had or got this problem, its really pissing me off now. Ive already had to put up with flickering and screen lift good seriously needed to test this out before putting it to production the flaws are a complete joke my nexus s doesn't give me all these problems
Yes my s is slower than the 7 but it works better than this piece of garbage

I believe that it's up to the app itself to keep the display on, so depending on what you're trying to play, you may want to try a different player.
Its on YouTube its self the device has went completely dead I can't even turn the screen on now. I've loved the Google brand since owning my first android phone the nexus S but this has put me right off it.

[Q] Is it hard to find a nexus 7 without defects?

I returned mine yesterday, the only one I've had so far, because of some backlight bleed and screen lift, I was planning to replace it with a new N7 but it's really complicated to find one sometimes and the store was empty, so I got my money back. At the moment I mean to get another as soon as I find one with no defects, but with all I've read I must ask, is it that hard to find a N7 in good shape? I was loving this tablet so much, but right now I'm even thinking about getting an ipad mini instead because of it's problems...What do you guys think?
I have a CAO 32gb, bought at Tesco in Chelmsford 2 weeks ago. Extremely happy, with no problems, so it is possible.

Bought mine couple of days ago and haven't notice any screen lift or other defects.

I've had mine for a few months. Nothing wrong with mine.

Got my 3g on monday... Everything seems fine except for the slight delay with the power button when waking the device...
Got my 3G yesterday and it appears defect free! Quite pleased really as I was getting worried reading horror stories here. Maybe Google/Asus finally getting the QC right?
I'd say chances are fairly good - perhaps 70%?
You should be able to find a good one.
Well I'm getting one for Christmas. I know that my mom bought my 16gb from the local Staples. I'm hoping it is defect free.

I have C90, ithout defects. Then the motherboard died it started rebooting... now got it back from repair and all OK for couple of days,...
Got a an issue free one on my first shot, C80 with no lift or hardware problems. Good ones are definitely out there.

Now that demand isn't so insane, I think more tablets will have fewer defects. The 3g n7 I got a couple weeks ago doesn't appear to have any issues. There might be a slight bit of backlight bleed from the left side, but it's hard to notice it without looking hard for it.

My c90 purchased almost a month ago is defect free. So they are out there!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
All fine!
I bought my wife the original 16gb one soon after launch and I've had a 32gb one for just over a month, and not the slightest issue with either! I have to say I think the build is great on them, just waiting for Android to get even smoother as it can still lag from time to time even with "project butter".
No trouble here. I got a C60 16gb 4 months ago...no issues, and picked up a C90 32gb wifi version two weeks ago (the "old" one is present for daughter) ... no issues with it either.
I can't be THAT lucky if the issues are so rampant. Good luck.

Black line across screen. HELP!

I don't know a lot about Android, apart from rooting and flashing ROMs, and I need help with this issue. My 16gb nexus 7 has a pixel-wide black line going across the screen, dead center. Just showed up about 2 hours ago, while it was setting on my bed. I restarted, and the line was there during the Google logo and boot animation. I am running paranoidandroid 2.54 with m-kernel. Any ideas on what caused it or how to fix it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Correction: I am running motley kernel. And the line seems to be changing colors so I don't think the pixels are dead. My guess is that its software.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Try a different kernel and hope and pray bro....otherwise its a warranty deal.

Yeah its only the beginning of the inevitable. Your screen is going bad. It will get worse. Return to stock and rma.

Any preferred method of returning to stock and unrooting? I have the nexus 7 toolkit, but I'm not sure what's best. I'll check the forums as well. Thanks for the help!

i have a line across the screen too but it flashes a yellow one. the pixels are still working (shows all available colors) but sometimes a yellow line flashes constantly
I tried factory reset, change kernels, roms, etc. but the problem is still there. also i opened the device and tried to check a few connections but nothing changed. by the way, the line only shows up at the same spot, never changes. sometimes it crosses the whole screen but it usually shows up partially
is my screen counting days to drop dead? is there a fix?
Rma it and don't tell them you opened it

a short after posting here, my nexus 7 dropped from my computer box (about 1,5 meters). the screen did not cracked, no damage anywhere.
the damn yellow line was still there BUT not for a long time. I just blinked a couple of times and disappear. As you can see it was a few days ago and i didn't see it anymore since then
I don't know if it was luck or a miracle but actually it worked! my problem seems to be fixed so far
I would like to thank anyone who helped me out in this thread. I received my tablet today and its a brand new one. All the problems are fixed and it even feels heavier than it used to. And its sturdier. Woot!

nexus 10 still worth it?

So i just received some money i was thinking about getting a tablet so i was looking at the nexus 10 still worth it?
I just got mine a week ago. I love it. I have both the N4 and the N7. I wasn't planning on getting the N10 but a friend of mine made me an offer I couldn't refuse.
The display is something you have to see to believe. If you are in the market for a 10" tablet you'd be hard pressed to find a tab with this resolution and SOC for the price. Not to mention its a Nexus.

Best Android tablet on the market.
I'm happy with mine, it may the best Android 10" tablet right now. With such a strong developer community supporting it, I'll probably have mine for a couple years before I worry about replacing it.
Man cut it out with the screen he has to see it to belive it .
It s normal screen with very good clarity but the blacks are really bad in compare to the espectations. it s a nice screen when you throw an image to it but not perfect . The collors are not that good and it suffers from light bleed .
Nexus 10 still worth every penny now BUT only if you get a unit without problems . I hope now things has improved in the Quality Control departament .
If you get one with problems, you pay for a nightmare .

Well i hope i don't get no light bleed what app is it that i need to get to check to see if i get light bleed just order mine today should get here by wednesday.
From market -> Backlight Bleed Test -> select black color -> enjoy
Don t worry so much . i think yours its ok ... Maybe a new revision ..
Search for more info in the forum . you get the ideea

light bleed is placebo
colors could be better, i agree
Test for power issues, those will be the hardest to get fixed. Took me months to get mine fixed.

What kind of po issues are you referring to? I own a Nexus 10 since yesterday. I noticed that it loads the battery really slow. If it is plugged in during normal usage, it just keeps its battery level. Are you talking about that?

Get use with that ... You will charge it in 6 hours from 0 to 100
Patience first 2 3 cycles ... Healty for battery

After a bit of use (or some games), the battery level becomes "stuck" (or while asleep a while), and plugging/unplugging a charger reboots the device. THEN and ONLY then will it show the correct value.

Touch Screen Issues!

Is anyone having issues with the LG G2 touch screen.
The things I'm noticing is
guesture typing it loses it's trail and begins a new word. So if I'm trying to spell "Think," it'll get the "TH" then space it out and get some other string of letters etc.
Web Browsing; it'll click a link I'm not trying to
Zooming in on photos and scrolling while it's zoomed it'll sparatically zoom out or move to the next pic
There's several other things that I can't seem to get to replicate! Anyway with my research here's what I came up with.
My issue is much like this but far less easy to replicate!!! And not nearly as bad. How ever I was able to do it when my phone started having symptoms I pulled up the note pad and it did exactly like this just way less significant.

Here's another forum with people going through issues!
I'll take that as a no
I was having issues like that with gesture typing on both swift and stock keyboards. Basically it would just add all kinds of random entries. In another thread someone suggested using a microfiber cloth on the screen. It seems to be working now.

Just noticed that mine does the same thing... But it's not consistent, only happens once in a while. After I reboot it's fine. Really weird.
I posted earlier, looks like it didn't make it up. I had same issue, I tried flashing back to stock, assuming I had done something with rooting it, tried making sure that it was not an issue with ram bring to low, nothing fixed it. Took phone back to att, replaced it, havent had the issue once since then. I'm rooted, flashed and modded work no I'll effects. If you are within your return period, I would suggest that you return.

Well I have seen some quality control issues with these phones for sure... I'm still on stock and not rooted and mine does this. Going to have to go by the Verizon store Monday and get a new one.

I made a video to help illustrate what's going on!
Well I got a replacement phone and the problem is still happening. So I went into the shed grabbed my old Cyanogenmod MyTouch 3G and I plan to use that until the Nexus 5 comes out. Hopefully I'll get a launch unit.
Just holding this little phone makes me feel all nostalgic lol. I bought it in 2009 and it still holds a decent charge.

Are you just going to wait until the nexus 5 comes out and then take your g2 back, tell them that this is the second one that has done this, and demand they replace it with the "newer g2" ie Nexus 5? I thought about this!
I'm hoping this is a software issue..mine is really annoying
