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.

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!

I've not seen it mentioned, but I want to know if others have noticed.
So far all 3 of my CK60 devices have this. Originally I thought it might have been the app Thumb Keyboard. But my other two without the app display the same.
At about 1 inch from the right side edge of the display portion of the screen, a vertical black line will flash. I've only really noticed it while browsing. Not entirely sure it's not just an issue in Chrome, as I also have the stock ICS browser installed, but only use that to view flash videos.
Each has been unlocked and rooted, it's so random and happens so rarely that I couldn't remember to diagnose it pre-root/unlock..
Anyone else notice this?
Would like to know if something common, before erasing my unit to test clean stock.
I will get the random black line flash on some apps. Such as XDA, and chrome. Doesn't ever happen on a homescreen, or in game or anything.
Don't bother with wiping, it won't do you any good.
Same here. Think it's a software problem.

Thanks for chiming in guys, appreciate it, it doesn't "really" bother me, but it is a "glitch". Good to know.

Yea I have the same problem also this is the second replacement.... screen flicker on the first now on this I get the screen flicker and lines on CK60 device
I flashed Motleys kernel for the performance but it also got rid of the flashing black line. I didn't really think about until yesterday when I realized I haven't seen it happen in a couple days now ever since I flashed it.

I also have the screen flickering problem, but I'm pretty sure they are completely unrelated.
Hopefully there will be an update to fix it.

Flashing black lines?!?!?
Yep, same thing here. It isn't a huge deal, as it's just a split second flash. My only concern is that it may get worse as time progresses. I REALLY hope Google is working on some patches to address some of these Software issues.
Other than that, I am very satisfied with my Nexus 7, it's an excellent buy!
Google, please, you guys need to really tighten up your SQA department!

Make sure to read the instructions before doing this. It does take care of the black line for me I haven't seen it in over a week now.

Also over clocking isn't needed to get rid of the line flash. It is a nice feature to have. And for the GPU I would suggest the 484... Also be sure to give motley a "thanks" for his work.

I am seeing the same thing on my C70. I also sent in a support request to ASUS and directed them here. Will post back if/when they reply with something useful.
Noticed a horizontal black line flash across the bottom while in portrait mode. Happened while on xda a few days ago. Haven't seen it since

Well as many of you posted you had flawless Nexus I pulled the trigger but for my horror I got a Lemon.
First I thought I had only the screen lift but after two weeks It have started to develop Screen Flicker and the slightest screen bleed in the right corner... a black pixel line when I open a hard task or its charging something.... the screen not responding and the ghosting :banghead: to my other horror I can't return it cause my father bought it to me and I'm in Mexico so no return but I wanted to know what are Software related and what are hardware related

So the Screen Separation is Hardware as the Screen Bleed
But the flicker, the sudden line that I just see like one a day and the ghosting that goes away with a reboot are all hardware?! The HTC titan had the ghosting too and with an update it went away

Well actually the screen flicker can be fixed by running a script. Look for the thread that says screen washout out fix. It will disable the nvidia smart dimmer. And the screen lift can be fixed' Google it . And not sure what the this "ghosting" is.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Xparent White Tapatalk 2
Well first I don't know if when going from homescreen to homescreen and seeing the icons going from side to side it looks like it leaves a trace behind that disappears after a couple of milliseconds and I don't know if its just an animation or ghosting.....and second is after being in my social homescreen the white parts stay onscreen in the background until I reboot but that only happened once and never again

IIRC you used the clamp and heat method to try and reactivate the glue. Best of luck, but that approach has been temporary for most users.
And you telling him to Google it would almost certainly lead to him fiddling with the screws, which is even less effective than the clamping.
Here is the only fix known to work. It's a delicate procedure and I wouldn't recommend it unless your lift is severe, GalaxyDev.
Sorry for your troubles, but hopefully you can see past these flaws and enjoy the tablet as is. I'm sure this device is a rare sight in Mexico.
The only reason why I considered that is because my screen lift is so minor, its like a hair lifted so my guess is the adhesive needs rebonding.

One thing that annoying me on my nexus 4. You can see on the left of my screen, straight dark line from top to bottom. I haven't drop my nexus before. It appeared on dark colours especially grey colours. For your info its start to appeared when 10 minutes screen on after about 20 minutes screen off. Is it normal? Anyone here have the same problem?

Holy damn. I was just about to make a thread. But mine can't be screenshot. Its seen just like you said and I can flick the different home screens and it stays in the left I've flashed back to stock and still there. Been a week. It got less noticeable when used less. I'm wondering if its because I'm near a big subwoofer in my living room. I know TV used to do this like a bleed line. Have you heard any data yet??? I will send mine back. Please let me know...

So there's a strip going across my screen right where you would press to unlock it or where the middle row of keys is on the keyboard where the touch recognition has just stopped working...
The rest of the screen and phone work absolutely perfect except for this thin strip on the screen.
Any one ever seen this before where a certain point of the screen stops working ?
I take great care of my phone and I had used it to txt literally a minute earlier put it on the table and when a reply text came through I picked the phone up and this problem was there.
Factory reset didn't solve the issue so it's gotta be hardware. It's on its way for repair now.

Factory reset only resets your settings, if part of your Kernel or ROM corrupted itself then a factory reset would do nothing to fix the issue, try re-flashing stock or whatever you use.

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 .

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.
