This question was triggered in regard to the folks out there (myself included) who have experienced cracked SCREENS in the early models. I'm curious, what is it about the design of the n7 LCD that causes all touch functionality to stop if a crack occurs? I remember seeing touch screen devices in the past with cracked screens that still responded to touch... Just made me wonder what made the n7 different. Then again maybe it's not so different and I just haven't come across anybody who had a touch-working cracked LCD... Any insight?

according to my personal knowledge, the touch sensors are built into the display itself, or if you prefer, the glass. so if the glass does shatter, this is a fair chance that the touch sensor will be damaged.

So my first transformer was awesome except for the touchscreen that was unresponsive on a whole line across the tablet, the minimal light bleed, and the unbalanced speakers. I decided to rma it with ASUS and sent it back.
I just got it back today. The shipping paper shows a new part for a screen (I'm guessing.. 90R-OK061L20000Y). I immediately installed a multi touch and paint app to check the screen only to find an almost identical unresponsive section of the screen (on both it was unresponsive to the lightest of touch only. Heavy touches still registered.)
My question to my fellow Transformer owners is should I RMA again? Maybe switch to the galaxy tab? Hope its software related and wait for a fix? Our just ignore it?
Anyone else have this problem?

The Transformer is nice especially with dock if all works well, mine does, but if that were me I'd be unloading it and getting a Galaxy 10.1.
I just tested mine with the same paint program. I colored the whole screen with 1 finger and everything seems to be in order. Funny how that program registers 7 finger multitouch but 8 will cause a FC.
Anyway. I would RMA it again. This time stating that the problem wasn't fixed. Maybe put a bunch of post-it notes with arrows all pointing to the spot there it is whacked.

If this really is an issue only with "lightest of touch" I think you would be better off selling the unit. Touch screens often have areas that require more or less contact. The fact that they replaced the screen or digitizer and it does not meet your expectations suggests the settings they are using will not meet your expectations as to the amount of contact required.
Just a quick question, wherever you guys bought your transformer, did anyone buy a warranty through the retailer? Personally I work a BestBuy, so a 1 year with damage warranty was dirt cheap for me, so i bought it, normally I dont get the plans bc I treat my gadgets like angels, but with a 10 inch screen thats only protected by glass I thought I should, especially with all the defects from ASUS going around (although mines working perfect!).
Well as an example when trying to launch an app along the line a hard press is required

Could it be a problem with your fingers? Seems strange you have had problems with 2 lol
Are you saying my fingers is brokeded!?!

he's saying you touched it wrong
well I would insist on a replacement if the issue is still there. You would of thought they would of tested this before it was returned to you.
I would of thought it would be other hardware other than the screen that is defective and they have simply replaced the incorrect part.
I called asus again and they game another rma. They paid for doing too, that's nice. hoping for a fix though.

So I noticed this when I bought my tablet and tried to disregard it but after 2 weeks its starting bother me. I'm pretty sure its a dead pixel and trying to decide if I should bring it back to office depot and ask for a new tablet. What do you guys think? I posted two pictures to show what I'm seeing. On the first picture, its right by the N in education. I know, probably seems picky but when I'm on a white page, its pretty noticeable.

Well, if it bothers you then you should return the tablet and get one that doesn't bother you, simple as that. I also have a stuck pixel on mine, but it doesn't bother me at all and thus I won't be returning mine.
a white pixel (stuck on) I would definitely return.
I have two miscolored pixels on mine that chose to not care about. It's common with TFT screens..
You can fix it........unless its a grey or a black dead pixel......massage it hard and try to move it towards the nearest side the effect is not instantaneous.......use an app called pixel fixer.....leave ur tab on charging while using that app......do both the methods and it would be gone in a week.....(worked for my phone)....

That's a horrible recommendation for an LCD that sits behind a gorilla glass touch screen. Unless you tell him to take the gorilla glass digitizer first he'll be risking breaking the digitizer before he ever gets close to the lcd!

Rubbing the screen doesn't work on devices with real glass displays, especially not gorilla glass. That method only works on displays where the glass is flexible or malleable (like computer lcd monitors or earlier/older phones).
To the OP:
If you're brave you COULD attempt some very gentle finger taps right above the area. I suggest trying to find a software fix though. If you try and try and it still sticks, then go ahead and return. I couldn't deal with that on my screen either.
Exchange it for another one NOW. You paid for it. You should have nothing less than a good screen with no stuck pixel.
Sorry to read this.
I'm the guy who's windshield and glasses are never clean enough, so a dead or wonky pixel would drive me nuts.
Thanks for the suggestions but I ended up just taking it back. Like a few of you said, I paid for it so I expect it all to work right. They took it back no questions asked. All is well in the new one

Hey guus. I got my nexus 7 yesterday, rooted it, and flashed aokp. However, I've been noticing small white dots appearing on the screen. I'm able to scratch the off with my finger but they keep coming fast at a fast pace? Is this some kind of defect, or is it common? I know every device has at least one common problem.

matey really i didnt mean it:laugh: , just a little joke so its actually like shards coming off the screen? never read about it seems really weird ,. hope all goes well with the new one bruuu :good:
its the protective coating separating there was someone else having a similar issue but it was one big spot at the bottom of the screen where it was coming off.. Did you ever clean the screen with ammonia products like Windex .This can cause issues with the coating .Other people have commented on dots being on the glass itself as well..
So yes i have heard of this but it sounds like yours is the extreme of the condition..
glad you got it replaced

I don't really know. They just looked at the tab and asked for my warranty proof and just replaced it lol. No questions asked. I never cleaned with liquids just one micro fiber cloth. Its brand new so...

Since Nexus 4 has been released one thing is key problem of this phone is touch sensitivity.
So anyone knows how to fix it or is that a hardware problem.:thumbup:
Thank you
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
If you take a look in the Original Android Development section, you'll see that there are kernels that claim to fix it. You could always try flashing one of those. I never had any problems with the touch sensitivity anyway. Yes, the screen's a little less sensitive than my Galaxy S's screen, but it's only a minor difference. It didn't even take any getting used to.
Does anyone have any idea what caused this streak down the center of the screen? There is no problem with the response to touch. That is working fine. Thanks.

I believe it has something to do with the floating glass issue, In some cases on the nexus 7 the glass isn't connecting to the below surface very good. the is some space between the glass and the next layar. this is causing this kind of issues, you should google this thing.
I googled this before posting and came up with nothing.
I posted on another forum and got a similar response like yours. Probably screen separating as it also shows up when the Nexus is off.
Got any ideas on how to fit it?

New LCD you will probably need to get a pre glued digitaliser and LCD
Programming is a race between engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
Thanks for confirming. I'm watching a couple of the complete assemblies on ebay.
